MV Freshwater battles massive 6M swell + SLOW MO (Manly Ferry)

A video I took from the Manly ferry MV Freshwater during massive 6 metre swells. The water of Sydney harbour was coloured brown after heavy rain and flooding polluted the water. I also added the slow mo version of the video.
Recorded: 9 March 2022

Epic video, loved seeing the shots from this day. Well done.

My goodness! I was on that service at the bow. It was horrific! Sadly, I caught pharyngitis shortly after this and that was the end of that!

[@AheadMatthewawsome]

And also my phone stopped working just before you came up to the bow. Is it alright if I use part of this footage to fit in some of the footage that was lost please?

[@BensSydneyFerryVideos]

@@AheadMatthewawsome Of course man! Take as much as you’d like just be sure to credit me! Hope you’ve recovered from pharyngitis! You saying “You don’t wanna come up here is probably the highlight of the video!😂

Beacuse that water has a lot of bacteria

Splash!

Combine this video with your footage of the South Steyne, multiply the swell bt 10, and you'll have a good idea of what my most common nightmare is made of.

Wow

HOW did your phone survive?

[@BensSydneyFerryVideos]

Iphone 12. Water resistant. However the charging port did get damaged and stopped working after this day so i needed to get that fixed.

​@@BensSydneyFerryVideosso your iphone it's not waterproof then.
I can submerge my Samsung S23 ultra and my OnePlus 9 5G in water and my charging port works fine.
