  • @fernando5821 well this is probly just a force 2 or force 3 storm, nothing to worry about, but once it reaches force 6 and up then he might want to film inside, force 12 is terribly monstrous waves, like 15 to 20 meters high! i'd say he's fine for now unless a rogue wave appears out of no where and crushes the ship lol

  • I can assure you that if you ever do experience a storm, the very LAST place you decide to be is outside by the rail making a video.

  • This isn't a storm. This is just a normal sea state.

  • Ok, but remember...smoke is baaaaaaaad, man!! You should be shamed! A sporty smoking!!?? That's the deal: Let's make a swimming competition. Me and you. Man against man. Mano by mano. Port Stanley-Valparaiso. The looser pays the wine. What do you think, smoker-boy? I bet i can beat a Camel smoker. Well...challenge on!

  • Yeah, well that's nothing too! I swam the passage 41 times, the last six times with my hands bound in jute twine! Behind my back! And I even swim this usually while chain-smoking unfiltered Camels!

  • This is nothing! I crossed the Horn seven times swimming to Port Stanley from Valparaíso and vice-versa and the sea was much more wild all the times. My father (71 years old) did the same thing just a week ago. Left Stanley swimming to Valparaíso, drank a glass of wine and return.

  • What ship is this??

  • I did it twice, and once it was tougher, but there's nothing as being there... everything falling and moving!

    I was lucky too not to get sick there

  • Fantastic Video! Gives you a good idea of how much these ships can move in rough weather conditions.

  • When I crossed the Drake, most everybody along got very sick. I was fortunate, and was fine. I even got plenty of sleep. This video seems calm compared to some of the waters we encountered, but still a great memory of good times!
