Right.

Yeah, I'm a wuss. I like modern boats with all the amenities... Radar, radio, galley and a head! These gents have just as much salt in their blood as any mariner of the past. ✌🏻🐱
@@PhoenixLyon well, a modern shoal draft mono or fixed keel cat usually run four to five and a half feet and do just fine. Granted the length to beam ratio is a bit different than a longship... What I find amazing as that the vikings did crossings on those things with such limited amounts of fresh water. Maybe we are all spoiled brats now, but I want a good water maker.

Sorry to hear you’re no longer going to be at sea. I think I speak for everyone who’s ever watched one of your videos, thank you because we enjoy the hell out of them. You and the other crew experienced some stuff very few other humans ever will. Giving us an insider look on life aboard a rescue vessel was eye opening and I’ll be damned if it wasn’t interesting as fuck. As a guy in southern Louisiana who has had family work on offshore drills in the Gulf of Mexico for decades we know how important you guys really are! I want to say Cheers from the States!!
I shall still be at sea, for now at least, but I shall not be making any more Month at Sea on an ERRV videos. The restrictions that I’ve had put on my filming have made it impossible for me to continue to make videos that would be of any interest. I hope enjoyed the series? Especially the earlier videos where I was allowed to film the oil workers up close. I know that they appreciated the view from the other side, as did their families at home. I hope to continue to film storms but they will also be restricted in content.

Rouge waves are the ones that come from a different direction right? what happens if a large rogue wave comes from the side, do you try to turn into it or do you just hold on and pray?
If we see if we head into it. They can be quite common in bad weather so we have to keep a good lookout and head into the really big rogue waves while getting hit side on by the normal waves that are just big. We then have to turn back into the general direction of the storm until the next one comes. Not so easy at night time.
I just got done watch 'Life on Board in Stormy Weather', is it that one? Gosh the simplest things to do look so tough with these big waves! Thank you for sharing! I shall watch all the videos you have uploaded and share them with family and friends. Best of luck to all of you :)

I’ve been out in my little 23 ft ski boat before and we’d come up waves on river or the gulf where it seemed to be best to hit them at a slight angle vs straight on. I take it, that is wrong?? What is the best way to take on waves??
I’m my experience it is always best to take the biggest waves head on at the slowest speed that maintains steerage. If you take them at an angle, the wave can push your bow and cause your vessel to go beam-on. That always upsets the cook.

It's amazing isn't it James? A year after I filmed this we smashed two bridge windows in the space of a few days. It was not the windows that failed but the studs in the window frames. In the course of a storm we would be hit by these size waves several times a day for two-three weeks and, as I'm sure you know, a cubic meter of water ways 1 tonne. That's s hell of s lot of weight being thrown at those windows. However, the tiniest of taps with a hammer and they shatter like, well........glass I suppose?
Bigwavemaster1 That's probably true. Still, I think they must use some very high quality plexiglass when making "bulletproof glass". I am at least willing to bet that they don't use regular glass for windows such as these. I don't think normal glass could handle the high winds, in addition to the water spray from large waves. By the way, Thanks for posting this awesome video!
Our windows are certainly not normal glass. They are quarter inch toughened safety glass. The same as you would get in a car only much thicker. Thanks of the comments. I make a film every trip showing the crew in their daily lives. I'm at sea now and shall be uploading the next in a couple of weeks. Hope you've subscribed? ;)

We have a Stability Curve which shows how far a ship can lean over before it capsizes. As far as waves go, it’s not so much the size that caused the damage but how steep it is and whether on not it is breaking.

Me too. Did the Drake Passage in 2006 and had a massive storm and boy were we absolutely rocking and rolling. So much fun. Spent as much time on the bridge 😂😂😂
So frightening yet impressive! Always makes me think of the line from Gordon Lightfoot's "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald". Have you heard it? Lightfoot is a legend here in Canada. The line goes "Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?". Chilling. Best from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

what is that cannon shaped thing to the sides forward? Looks like a whaling harpoon gun......does it shoot rescue lines? Perhaps a water cannon? Love the huge waves at night especially.
We try and steer directly into the main direction of the largest waves but they tend to come from every direction at once. Since we are looking after a couple of oil platforms, we try to stay within 10 miles of them. This involves turning the ship every few hours and going broadside on to the waves. Careful timing is required. A single wave would not turn us over but two together could.
Yep remember taking on so serious waves on uss forrestal couple times, was nothing compared to an accidental rocket launch from a F4 that shot across the deck an blew, lost a lot of lives, after that set in dry docks for a spell.

Ta very much 😊
Sorry to hear you’re no longer going to be at sea. I think I speak for everyone who’s ever watched one of your videos, thank you because we enjoy the hell out of them. You and the other crew experienced some stuff very few other humans ever will. Giving us an insider look on life aboard a rescue vessel was eye opening and I’ll be damned if it wasn’t interesting as fuck. As a guy in southern Louisiana who has had family work on offshore drills in the Gulf of Mexico for decades we know how important you guys really are! I want to say Cheers from the States!!
I shall still be at sea, for now at least, but I shall not be making any more Month at Sea on an ERRV videos. The restrictions that I’ve had put on my filming have made it impossible for me to continue to make videos that would be of any interest.
I hope enjoyed the series? Especially the earlier videos where I was allowed to film the oil workers up close. I know that they appreciated the view from the other side, as did their families at home.
I hope to continue to film storms but they will also be restricted in content.

Rouge waves are the ones that come from a different direction right? what happens if a large rogue wave comes from the side, do you try to turn into it or do you just hold on and pray?
If we see if we head into it. They can be quite common in bad weather so we have to keep a good lookout and head into the really big rogue waves while getting hit side on by the normal waves that are just big. We then have to turn back into the general direction of the storm until the next one comes. Not so easy at night time.
yeah that sounds exhausting, thanks for the reply
Thanks for the question.

That's a big yacht Peter. The ship in this vide is only 39m but probably much better suited to handling this sort of weather.

If it was the favourite of a few more people I may may make a bit of money 😂
I’ve been out in my little 23 ft ski boat before and we’d come up waves on river or the gulf where it seemed to be best to hit them at a slight angle vs straight on. I take it, that is wrong?? What is the best way to take on waves??
I’m my experience it is always best to take the biggest waves head on at the slowest speed that maintains steerage. If you take them at an angle, the wave can push your bow and cause your vessel to go beam-on. That always upsets the cook.
seen bigger wave videos but this is one of the better ones

I have to wonder what kind of glass that is, to withstand all that pressure in the last clip.
It's amazing isn't it James? A year after I filmed this we smashed two bridge windows in the space of a few days. It was not the windows that failed but the studs in the window frames.
In the course of a storm we would be hit by these size waves several times a day for two-three weeks and, as I'm sure you know, a cubic meter of water ways 1 tonne. That's s hell of s lot of weight being thrown at those windows.
However, the tiniest of taps with a hammer and they shatter like, well........glass I suppose?
I am surprised these are not made of a material like plexiglass?
That's a good point. Plexiglass marks too easily and would make it increasingly difficult to see out of.
Bigwavemaster1 That's probably true. Still, I think they must use some very high quality plexiglass when making "bulletproof glass". I am at least willing to bet that they don't use regular glass for windows such as these. I don't think normal glass could handle the high winds, in addition to the water spray from large waves. By the way, Thanks for posting this awesome video!
Our windows are certainly not normal glass. They are quarter inch toughened safety glass.
The same as you would get in a car only much thicker.
Thanks of the comments. I make a film every trip showing the crew in their daily lives. I'm at sea now and shall be uploading the next in a couple of weeks.

I wonder if there has been any testing on how huge waves can be before they destabilise the ship?
We have a Stability Curve which shows how far a ship can lean over before it capsizes.
As far as waves go, it’s not so much the size that caused the damage but how steep it is and whether on not it is breaking.

You’re welcome
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.
Enjoy 🌊🌊

Not quite. East Brae. About 155nm NE of Aberdeen
I used to crab fish in the 80's and in December of 1984, we were stuck pulling pots for blue king crab when the skipper told us "get everything tied down" meaning bad Weather was fast approaching. At 7:30 pm that night the worst
Were you working on crabbers for very long?
@@Bigwavemaster1 a couple years
"That's the money shot" you sarcastic bastard!! Love 💘 it!!
Thank you very much 😊
how big are the waves there ? do you worry you could capsize ? surley they are taller than the bow of your ship ?
The largest wave was measured at 29 meters.

@@Bigwavemaster1 sorry is that the largestwave recorded by your team or largest wave recorded since records began
@@ryanscarrmusic2329 Largest by our crew.
@@thetrinityfarmproject-xf2di wow thats unreal !
I feel seasick just watching this video. Is the bridge completely water tight ? I'd be worried one of those huge waves would smash the glass and/or flood some part of the ship ?
We have had smashed glass before

what is that cannon shaped thing to the sides forward? Looks like a whaling harpoon gun......does it shoot rescue lines? Perhaps a water cannon? Love the huge waves at night especially.
They are water canons
Matthew Peter. Are you sure you are using the right tape measure? You have a 45 metre yacht? That’s nearly 150’.
There’s been some big waves since this was filmed 😳

"The sea is as near as we come to another world." Thanks for sharing, Bigwavemaster1.
I think that about sums it up. Thanks for watching 😊
I’m at sea at the moment. If you are on Facebook you can follow our blog on Life at Sea on an ERRV.
Done 👍
Nice one 😊
Do you have to steer directly into a wave? If you go broadside will it turn the vessel over?
We try and steer directly into the main direction of the largest waves but they tend to come from every direction at once.
Since we are looking after a couple of oil platforms, we try to stay within 10 miles of them. This involves turning the ship every few hours and going broadside on to the waves. Careful timing is required. A single wave would not turn us over but two together could.

Yep remember taking on so serious waves on uss forrestal couple times, was nothing compared to an accidental rocket launch from a F4 that shot across the deck an blew, lost a lot of lives, after that set in dry docks for a spell.
WOW!! 😳
I know it's been 9 years (lol) but I wonder if anyone can tell me what ship this is? Thank you in advance.
