My First Attempt at Documenting Life at Sea During a Storm. The infamous Hurricane Bawbag (Cyclone Friedhelm) hit us in December 2011.

What type of vessel u on? Mostly every ship I worked on was 300' and under. Once we got caught in a hurricane in-between west Africa and Eastern Caribbean. At the time winds were 95mph with 20' and bigger waves. At the time I was on the USNS Pathfinder or Hayes I think. Hard to remember back to 2006. I had just finished serving 17 years in the army and thought I would try out the merchant navy. I really enjoyed it. Had I known about merchant marines when I was younger I may have went that direction instead of the army.
What a ship and what a crew! It cracks me up the way some of you are just sitting around like those kind of waves are no big deal. 99.99% of the human race would be changing their underwear after the first wave.....
i wouldnt bother changing my underwear....i'd just cut a hole in my trousers and underwear together sit on the toilet seat and hang on...i'd be using the Bible to wipe my ass
1:59 BLOODY HELL. This is the best big swell footage I’ve seen on TH-cam. The only thing missing is the noise. You go up up up up, until all you can see is sky. You crest the wave, then begin to plummet bow first-and there’s a bone rattling, wet THUNK as the bow smacks into the trough. From there, it looks certain the next wave will break over the vessel- but instead you’re thrust into the sky on the next swell. All the while the boat creaks and shudders and moans, the wind howls, and the wave sounds are relentless. It’s almost impossible to capture the experience on film. This clip comes closer than any other I’ve seen.
th-cam.com/play/PLG-lkGl9kpwSEoYG5fJ3pwqVNZaDivv7z.html This weather was quit tame compared to some of our usual stuff. Take a look at the play list above. You’ll find some videos that give a better impression of the sounds of the sea and the motion of the ocean.

Decent sized vessel and an experienced crew, wasn’t in any real danger. The worst part is the corkscrewing. Up and down and side to side seemingly all at the same time. Tea and toast for dinner. And probably breakfast the next day. Despite the comments, your personal south end evacuation isn’t an issue, it’s all coming north. Headache, nausea, disorientation. Good story when you’re back home though.
I was a nine year old child, on a 14.5 K ton ocean liner going through two gales. The waves then seemed to be much larger than these. We were only allowed on the upper promenade decks. Lunch and dinner were out of the question.
Got to have faith in your vessel and crew. We are used to these conditions and the menu never changes just because of the weather. 3 full meals a day th-cam.com/video/O8Kdw2b9cEQ/w-d-xo.html
I remember coming out of the Panama Canal into a hurricane and the waves were covering up the pilot house. The old man just couldn’t understand why the satellite gps wasn’t working.

I saw you’re comment about Ballasting the ship correctly for the weather......and watched one of you’re videos from 3 or 4 years ago, yes....what a noticeable difference your present captain has made to her sea capabilities, by correctly ballasted tanks, a far smoother ride with less jarring, and far less roll, , give that man a handshake from me 👍🇮🇲
Just paint the whole canvas blue with some white caps in it. I think they’ll get the point. At least sailors will. They can appreciate it too considering their point of view out of those windows was all ocean one second. All sky the next. They still made it home to stare at the painting of it hanging on the wall in their living room.

@@Bigwavemaster1what is the height on your Ship from the waterline to the tip of your bow? 65'? Please keep up the content. It is awesome seeing the power of the ocean through your lens. Thank you
Ah yes, the north sea. Our cook thought he was being funny, giving us 'storm soup' every time the waves were more than 10m. It's a pain in the ass to eat soup in waves like that, let me tell you.
I served on an Aircraft carrier in 1966. We got in to a typhoon coming home from Vietnam. We had 150 MPH winds and 80 foot seas. From the flight deck to the water was 90 feet Waves were over the flight dec and as high as the 11th deck.
Hi Joseph!!!! I was on Lake Superior last month - coast guard soundings. we were just East of Marquette, running along, when the sky turned into a black wall cloud and it was impossible to beat to harbor. My feet were in the air more than on the deck. Who pressed the elevator button for up and down at the same time. What a week! Then we went over to Macinac for dinner at the Pony, and next thing we knew, the yellow round house was on fire, and a big one.! Never a even steven moment here…. lol. I am glad you told a story about MI big waves. People just don’t get it.
Not brave, it's their job. It all depends what you are used to. I was born on the ocean and my father was a fisherman on the Bering Sea - it has the most dangerous seas on the planet. He first took me on one expedition when I was 12 and we encountered bigger waves than this video. I have since experienced many such conditions, so now it's a walk in the park for me. Not bravery, just used to it.
It’s hard to imagine that waves actually get that big out there in the middle of the ocean but then again we the viewer have never really been able to see it like what you’re showing here and it’s what we’ve all suspected and nobody could ever show us before. This is such a good content , unlike anything anyone has ever shown us before, this is legit the real thing.. It totally Beats everything that’s out there on TH-cam right now, this is some quality content that really shows us what life at sea is really like and what goes on out in the middle of the ocean that most of us would never know. Appreciate you putting out good videos like this man I hope you keep it up. My hat goes off to you guys seriously I could never withstand this kind of waves, oh my god just watching it makes me feel like I need a Valium and a beer. 🤣 but I could watch your videos every day and never get tired of it! 💟☮️ good vibes coming at you from Delaware! 👍🍺
Considering how brutal that sea state was, watching this video was remarkably calming and hypnotic. Easy to say watching in the comfort of my warm home, but you guys have big balls to be out there amongst it!!
I want to say THANK YOU, to the Brave CAPTAIN and CREW. WITHOUT YOU transporting everything. Our world would not function. People would starve, companies would close. Which would lead to complete chaos. So, THANK YOU FOR DOING WHAT YOU DO!!!! GOD please BLESS them!!!!
I was on a US Navy ship in the North Sea coming back from a NATO exercise in Northern Europe, 1978. The only time I ever got sea sick. Unbelievable swells!
So immense, has me giggling like a little kid when that wave rises mightily in front of the ship haha, love this type of footage capturing the insane and awe-inducing power of the sea.
The guys voice at the start is surprisingly calm. And then I see him …. and laugh to myself! But where are they going and why?!?! I can watch these videos on my iPhone from the comfort of my lounge…. but nowhere else, thanks very much!!! 🇳🇿🇳🇿🐑🐑🤗🤗🤣🤣
Tremendous waves and a well found ship.Being in the Bay Of Biscay in heavy weather in a small sailing boat,these are things you never forget all your life,like this one, and you truly bless the people who built your safe boat.Thankyou for your fine film.
@Bigwavemaster1 I appreciate the link you sent me! You are one of the few on TH-cam that have taken the time to answer questions I sent. I’m still amazed at what you all do. I smiled while watching the video (truly amazing waves) and I think I had a little urinary incontinence at the same time. Makes me want to do a ride along with y’all. But that thought disappeared after half a second into the video. I’m from across the pond but I still want to wish you all a happy thanksgiving. I hope you are spending it with family and/or friends and you are on calm seas today!
We are at sea at the moment but due home in a free days. Unfortunately there were no storms to film this time round but we’ll see what January brings. I’ve been told that I cannot make any more Month at Sea videos so I’m thinking of a few new angles. If you’ve seen my last video you will have noticed that it was introduced by a little girl. I’m going to try and teach her to splice so that she can do some tutorials 😂😂 Watch this space. A Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
Is it the end of the month-long videos, or will there be no more videos at all? You gents do an amazing job, and if this is the end, thank you for sharing your lives with us.✌😸
Not sure why you’re leaving, but whatever the reason, I wish you the best of luck - thank you for all the fantastic videos 💕 All of you gentleman are a special breed - true saltwater cowboys!
My first Atlantic crossing when I worked on cruise ships in the 80's we were in a force 10 for over 4 days, 30ft swels sprey over the top of the ship, I found it absolutely amazing loved every minute.
Amazing!Am a salt water sailor(chief engineer) for the last 30 years & this is how bad weather is out at sea, esp beyond the tropics. Marine Engineering apart, seamanship counts a lot in these situations. And after a few years one gets used to this. That's why Captain Cool 😎!

Even with all this movement, I would feel safer in this ship than in one of those super large ships, because of the risk of them breaking in 2 due to the tremendous stress. Hats off the engineers that have designed this ship. She takes these waves with ease and her sailing through such monstrous seas is a true beauty. This is strangely relaxing to watch, and really beautiful. This looks much more fun and entertaining than any amusement park.
Larger ships would take the waves at an angle to reduce the the stressing and flexing. There are videos where you can see the whole ship twisting. There are a few more storm videos on my channel that are much longer than this one and great for relaxing.
@@Bigwavemaster1 Yes I have watched these videos of ships twisting, and they are quite scary. If I was onboard and seeing that I would be terrified, because I would think the ship would break apart even though I know modern big ships are designed to twist like that. I have watched your storm videos several times, and I'm always following the other videos as well, long time subscriber here. You have the best storm videos I've ever watched in my life. These screacking and cracking sounds from inside the ship are relaxing as no other thing out there.
@@POLARTTYRTM Thanks for your continued viewing. Very much appreciated. Yes, modern ships are designed to bend & not break but that also depends on a good maintenance program of drydocks and surveys Once a ship has reached the end of their life expectancy and are no longer economically viable, they are sold off to countries that are not quite so fastidious about safety. There are many more ships lost that you will ever hear about.

This is no joke. Damn! I give these guys serious respect!!-

And the ship just seems to shrug it off. What a machine!
Yay for the engineers!
Bad sailing makes a bad ship also.
They must be equipped with counter balance technology , kinda like those hover boards kids ride .
@Robdog 1 what is an ERRV?
@@antarcticorb9197 ERRV ( Emergency Response & Rescue Vessel )
There are moments after the boat crests the waves where it seems like it’s pointing vertically straight down. Insane!
Yep 😂😂
Ya! Insane!
The guy at the helm is just sittin' there as relaxed and cool as can be. Amazing. Good job sir.
Thank you 😊
I saw you’re comment about Ballasting the ship correctly for the weather......and watched one of you’re videos from 3 or 4 years ago, yes....what a noticeable difference your present captain has made to her sea capabilities, by correctly ballasted tanks, a far smoother ride with less jarring, and far less roll, , give that man a handshake from me 👍🇮🇲
Will do 😊

So I'm doing an acrylic painting of the sea and thought I'd have a look at some waves on TH-cam. Holy crap I haven't got a canvas big enough...
I have some smaller waves on my videos and some that are much bigger. Help yourself 😊
@@Bigwavemaster1 😂
Just paint the whole canvas blue with some white caps in it. I think they’ll get the point. At least sailors will. They can appreciate it too considering their point of view out of those windows was all ocean one second. All sky the next. They still made it home to stare at the painting of it hanging on the wall in their living room.
This makes Turner’s paintings of storms at sea look so tame…
We film some of the largest waves ever caught on camera.
We work with 2 oil platforms that can accurately measure wave height so no guessing or exaggeration.

how there is so little conversation while these are being filmed!
There usually is but, when I'm filming, I'm concentrating too much on where the next wave is coming from.
Love the guy just chillin out in the chair
His Balls are probably keeping the Ship balanced!

@@sinnerssaint4712 Thank you very much.
The overall length of our ship is 160 ft.
@@Bigwavemaster1 What is the displacement of that ship? 10,000 tons? more?
@@sinnerssaint4712 Don't know but the GRT is 1130 Tonnes.
Ah yes, the north sea. Our cook thought he was being funny, giving us 'storm soup' every time the waves were more than 10m. It's a pain in the ass to eat soup in waves like that, let me tell you.
I'd stick it in a baby bottle.
We have soup every day. The menu never changes because of the weather.
I served on an Aircraft carrier in 1966. We got in to a typhoon coming home from Vietnam. We had 150 MPH winds and 80 foot seas. From the flight deck to the water was 90 feet Waves were over the flight dec and as high as the 11th deck.
Quite an experience
So scary!
90 feet waves, sure ...time to get your pills now...

Hi Joseph!!!! I was on Lake Superior last month - coast guard soundings. we were just East of Marquette, running along, when the sky turned into a black wall cloud and it was impossible to beat to harbor. My feet were in the air more than on the deck. Who pressed the elevator button for up and down at the same time. What a week! Then we went over to Macinac for dinner at the Pony, and next thing we knew, the yellow round house was on fire, and a big one.! Never a even steven moment here…. lol. I am glad you told a story about MI big waves. People just don’t get it.

Oh, my giddy heart! You guys must be the bravest men on Earth!
No, just the daftest 😂
Not brave, it's their job. It all depends what you are used to. I was born on the ocean and my father was a fisherman on the Bering Sea - it has the most dangerous seas on the planet. He first took me on one expedition when I was 12 and we encountered bigger waves than this video. I have since experienced many such conditions, so now it's a walk in the park for me. Not bravery, just used to it.
Makes your ship seem small and I know from reading the specs, your ship is not small!!! Great video!!
Thank you very much 😊
They look huge on video but are actually a lot worse when you are amongst it as video doesnt give it the right definition
Very true 😊
You know it’s rough when he can’t keep the ocean and sky in the shot at the same time.
Yep 😂😂
It’s hard to imagine that waves actually get that big out there in the middle of the ocean but then again we the viewer have never really been able to see it like what you’re showing here and it’s what we’ve all suspected and nobody could ever show us before. This is such a good content , unlike anything anyone has ever shown us before, this is legit the real thing.. It totally Beats everything that’s out there on TH-cam right now, this is some quality content that really shows us what life at sea is really like and what goes on out in the middle of the ocean that most of us would never know. Appreciate you putting out good videos like this man I hope you keep it up. My hat goes off to you guys seriously I could never withstand this kind of waves, oh my god just watching it makes me feel like I need a Valium and a beer. 🤣 but I could watch your videos every day and never get tired of it! 💟☮️ good vibes coming at you from Delaware! 👍🍺
I got home yesterday so will start working on his trip’s video soon.
Stay tuned.
I agree 💯 bro, I couldn’t do it for even one trip. Just watching the video gives me the heebs. Sailors are a different breed. Next level bravery.
Considering how brutal that sea state was, watching this video was remarkably calming and hypnotic. Easy to say watching in the comfort of my warm home, but you guys have big balls to be out there amongst it!!
You’ll love this one

@Bigwavemaster1 I appreciate the link you sent me! You are one of the few on TH-cam that have taken the time to answer questions I sent.
I’m still amazed at what you all do. I smiled while watching the video (truly amazing waves) and I think I had a little urinary incontinence at the same time.
Makes me want to do a ride along with y’all. But that thought disappeared after half a second into the video.
I’m from across the pond but I still want to wish you all a happy thanksgiving. I hope you are spending it with family and/or friends and you are on calm seas today!
We are at sea at the moment but due home in a free days. Unfortunately there were no storms to film this time round but we’ll see what January brings.
I’ve been told that I cannot make any more Month at Sea videos so I’m thinking of a few new angles. If you’ve seen my last video you will have noticed that it was introduced by a little girl. I’m going to try and teach her to splice so that she can do some tutorials 😂😂
Watch this space.
A Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.
Holy cow!!! You guys are awesome! I've never been on the ocean but you all are definitely champions!!!

My first Atlantic crossing when I worked on cruise ships in the 80's we were in a force 10 for over 4 days, 30ft swels sprey over the top of the ship, I found it absolutely amazing loved every minute.
A great experience
Amazing!Am a salt water sailor(chief engineer) for the last 30 years & this is how bad weather is out at sea, esp beyond the tropics. Marine Engineering apart, seamanship counts a lot in these situations. And after a few years one gets used to this. That's why Captain Cool 😎!

My limited experience of North Sea weather tells me that it has the power to shrink the biggest ship to the size of a cork when it all kicks off.
Is rough sea to be expected most of the time?
Yep 😂
Magnificent vessel. Like a roller coaster ride with those long swells. Wouldn't want those to be right on top of each other though. Not near as fun.
It happens sometimes 😳

Even with all this movement, I would feel safer in this ship than in one of those super large ships, because of the risk of them breaking in 2 due to the tremendous stress. Hats off the engineers that have designed this ship. She takes these waves with ease and her sailing through such monstrous seas is a true beauty. This is strangely relaxing to watch, and really beautiful. This looks much more fun and entertaining than any amusement park.
Larger ships would take the waves at an angle to reduce the the stressing and flexing. There are videos where you can see the whole ship twisting.
There are a few more storm videos on my channel that are much longer than this one and great for relaxing.
@@Bigwavemaster1 Yes I have watched these videos of ships twisting, and they are quite scary. If I was onboard and seeing that I would be terrified, because I would think the ship would break apart even though I know modern big ships are designed to twist like that. I have watched your storm videos several times, and I'm always following the other videos as well, long time subscriber here. You have the best storm videos I've ever watched in my life. These screacking and cracking sounds from inside the ship are relaxing as no other thing out there.
@@POLARTTYRTM Thanks for your continued viewing. Very much appreciated.
Yes, modern ships are designed to bend & not break but that also depends on a good maintenance program of drydocks and surveys Once a ship has reached the end of their life expectancy and are no longer economically viable, they are sold off to countries that are not quite so fastidious about safety. There are many more ships lost that you will ever hear about.
Excellent comment! You summed it up perfectly.
Hats off to the Captain and crew of this vessel. Vertical flight, magnificent navigation!
Thank you 😊
