[AlainNaigeon]

2;00 "Jument" light ; there are very strong tide flows in this "Fromveur" passage

[artyparis]

music killed me

bon boulot les gars de l'Abeille Bourbon!

[httmd1]

great music and video

[forkdriver500]

Roughly translated "Abeille Flandre" is The Flanders Bee....or The Flemish Bee...anyone want to correct and put my mind at rest. Been trying to figure out what her English name is.

[hateliberals1]

why the stupid music,,,,,,,????

[kenfo0]

that scow is poorly designed. what are those? 3 ft rollers?

[w9057612833]

I am impressed by video ... but not this music )))

[ofwbaker]

is ti just me or does anyone else have the overwhelming urge to tie themselves in a full set of waterproofs to the pole at the front and just go a bit mental for a while? XD

[godiskungen27]

Such wonderful music. Best music ever.We all love it.

[morace250]

Really..do you have to have such gay fuckin music to such a great video

[eddietwang]

A ship is relative to it's weather. As long as the cook is adept weather won't be an issue. I'd cook low acid foods such as Shephard's Pie, fresh veggie dip,  sandwich platter with fresh meats and cheeses, fresh sliced fruits, and an abundunce of fresh water to stay hydrated. When the weather clears I'd offer a lasagna with fresh garlic bread and a raucus salad with all the fixings. A choice of salad dressings would be homemade. Coffee would always be fresh ground and snacks available.

@YaterSpoon86 sarcasm :)



[YaterSpoon86]

Nothing will put lead in your pencil like white water towing! The wife onshore knows she'll get pounded after watching this offshore vid. 30 on and 3 hrs on. You better slide down the bannister and warm up dinner! I'm ready to get back aboard when she gets comfy. TIME TO GO!

[bighead276]

brave ppl risking death by foreeign countries death by drowning and by sea monsters either way i admire their courage true men stand up guys are these type of fighters

[crucarmen]

the men on this ships are real heroes. we always hear about CEOs, billionaires, business stars.. what are they compared to those men ? tthe men working on these ships don't even have huge salaries, no one know their name.. famous people are not those who deserve it !

[CoheedVal]

Hate the music, but nice ship...

[peteacher52]

I see that some enjoyed the music. Fair enough. I think it horrible and distracting, irrelevant to the images.

[1974Egg]

Fine men and women indeed and damn good engines...engineer on board worth many pennies per hour no doubt...cool vid

[Daron1958]

Great video. I am a tug Captain and that is a very bad day at sea! The music is great in this video. Who is it please?

[Prestostark]

cant be fun being in a helicopter in those conditions...

[FrederikVanHolland]

Very nice video. Also the music. I like the Abeille Flandre . Beautiful ship! Thanks for uploading! Favorited.

[Cebu4]

Here in the states we pay good money to have a thrill ride like that. This looks to be much better than a rollercoster. How do I get a ride on this boat. GOD how do these amazing people handle it every day. Oh I like the music too. Not sure why.

[rosshammond]

these boats are operated by men of GOD and powerful diesel engines

[Blaven233]

@rosshammond think both is built in norway. (abeille Flandre and Abeille bourbon).

[rosshammond]

these boats are operated by men of GOD and very powerful diesel engines

[4everEnglish]

God speed to all of you on board...holy crap how do you cope with those conditions....you are not normal...period

[arthusthefirst]

How can we love such stupid music.......????

[45petrus]

I like the house music, interesting choice.

[bushiman32]

that thing is going to be destroyed

[45petrus]

love the music

[riebenholt]

going to the rescue of a stricken tanker. It's the Abeille Flandre, and respect to the brave men onboard

[caper1243]

this captain and his vessel are bad ass! quite a sea on there and she just plows right through.

[capramri]

[MyAnemos]

MPRAVO TO THE SAILORS.GOOD SEAS

[gcervone]

I actually like the music

[arthusthefirst]

haw can u choose and listen that kind of (it's not music) bad noise....???? prick

[MrBooojangles]

That looks bad. I bet they were pleased to get back to port.

[incongra]

For the benefit of us English speakers, is that the Irish Sea? - What was the incident?

I'm surprised how close the SeaKing/Sikorsky 61N pilot is willing to come to the vessel. Beautiful clip. Thanks.

[ramseyboater]

Hi Incongra,

It's the Mer d'Iroise - the stretch of water off southern Brittany between the Ile de Sein and Oissant, a very rough part of the Atlantic near Brest.

And the helicopter was a Dauphin from the French Navy, not an S61N. Good bit of flying though.

[incongra]

@ramseyboater Surprising, because it really looks like a 61 at 2:26. It looks like he has got his wheels down, too. Thanks for the info.

[deBoeldieu]

@incongra I think this is in Britanny, near Ushant, a French Island between the Bay of Biscay and the English Channel. It's one of the most dangerous area in the world where winds are often going against the sea. The helicopter is an Aérospatiale Super Frelon. And the music sucks! :D

[stoomheier]

wind screen test???

[labrador281]

That thing is a tank!!!

[tacarigua]

great ship and wonderful crew

[Jason99VR4]

Madison Park - Ocean Drive (the sources trance remix)

[pericotitolindo]

Real instructive description! Video is great as well. Just that the music is not so catchy (to my taste). I rather like the music trame of Marejada Ocean Tug. Anyway,,,... *****

[ninja2kernow]
