Brilliant video.. one of the best ferry videos on here.. well done.. can't understand why so few views.. there are rubbish videos with thousands of likes..
I can say it takes a certain kind of passion (and level of craziness 🤣) to make this kind of videos. Just driving to and from Cherbourg takes about 12 hours, never mind staying out on deck for hours being drenched by sea spray and rain 😂. Every video is a process but you learn from it what you can and take it with you for the next project (GoPro Media kits don't like sea spray for instance 🤣). It can be somewhat disappointing sometimes not to get more views but reading a comment like yours made my day and I want thank you for that 🙂.
@@ferriesinfocus It's a lovely video- I often search for rough ferry videos {my nemesis!} as I love watching them from a steady place when home- Luckily the algorithm showed me this one!.
Oooof. I think I had waves of abot 3-4 metres and 6 to 7 Beaufort on Normandie last summer, and it didn't seem so violent (but at night I couldn't see much).
The Normandie is a great ferry, it will be a sad day when she leaves the fleet. Wind can do a lot to whip up the waves, I noticed it on this trip as well. As soon as the wind dropped most of the breaking waves went away and those always give the biggest splashes 😅
At 39k tonnes a big enough ship to handle the sea. That said she was built in 1987 so probably not as good as some of the more modern ferries..mind you i did that crossing in a force 12 on the old Irish Continental Lines' St Killian in about 1979. Think she was about 8k tonnes..talk about a cork in a storm!!!
As a child I had a really rough family crossing on Falaise {3,710 tonnes built 1946 and scrapped 1970's..she really rolled and the decks were closed. I felt dizzy as everyone smoked in the saloon -wasn't sick, but was very very glad to get off.
As long as she goes into the waves it's not that bad. It also depends on where you are on the ship as the bow is obviously pitching more. But the movement did increase a lot once she turned north and the seas were coming from the side. She was rolling quite a bit and we weren't allowed outside for a while
Some cool lightning cloud at 3:20
Yeah that was a lucky capture 😀
Beautiful video !
Thank you :)
Super vidéos..from this STENA ferry...about the storm and the waves hitting the ferry..." Magnifique" 🌊⚓👍
Thank you :)

@@Oakleaf700 Thank you, it is getting difficult to make these as more often than not, they don't sail in this weather anymore :)
I was on Stena Spirit to Sweden from Poland
I was on stena horizon and it was like this
That must have been interesting. The Horizon is quite a bit smaller than the Vision.
@@ferriesinfocusThe horizon is longer, and vision is a bit taller
Oooof.

So do you feel the sea much at that level of weather?
