I sailed around the world as a deck officer until chief mate in the merchant navy for many years. North Sea, North Atlantic, these are very rough, as in this video This was my regular 'day at the office'. I had to stop for medical reasons 30 years ago. I've been working in an office as a finance director since then. Every day, I wish I could be back on the sea. Every single day. When you have lived it, you don't want anything else.

My father was a radio officer in the navy. His ears were trained to focus on one sound. If he was watching television he couldn't hear us talking to him. It was funny sometimes...I would say things to him I'd never say if I thought he could hear me. 😝
An incredible piece of equipment. Quiet as a mouse. I was on a brand new LNG supertanker in the 80s. In 65 ft seas on the bridge, the whole ship would shake and vibrate and creak and flex. It was intense. Thanks for the memories.
I’ve worked on a ship like that. Every time a wave hit the stern it would send shockwaves through the hull and cause a rippling effect. I thought I’d hit something the first time it happened 😂 I filmed this a few months ago. The largest waves on the planet at the time of filming th-cam.com/video/1qxaWXBqgME/w-d-xo.html
Back in the day when I was a young sailor, my first duty station was on a ship that was going to Hawaii. Our ship got very close to a very bad hurricane. The result was that this ship was taking 45degree rolls. While just standing there, the deck would come to you. It was scary and exciting at the same time. When we reached Hawaii, with the ship moored to the pier, we went on liberty and the solid ground felt like it was still moving. Thanks for helping me relive some fond memories of being out at sea........wishing you all fair winds and following seas.

The water looks like a giant alive thing or creature during storms, cant find the best word to express the feeling. My head started to feel a bit dizzy after watching it for some minutes. The ocean seems to be the best "TV" ever) Cant even imagine how incredibly cool it must be to experience such view in real) Inspite of the external danger coming from the water, it has very calming and tranquilizing effect. The water takes away all the thoughts and make you just adore it. Relly beutiful to watch. I dont think its ever possible to get bored by watching it.

That looks so cool, being out on those massive waves. I love how one minute there's a huge wave looming above you, next minute you way up high looking down at the waves below. You'd have to be absolutely impervious to motion sickness though, lol. 10 minutes of that and I'd lose my lunch.
This is hands down the BEST big ships in storms video! Man, I get that vertigo which is a real rush remember the video of the guy who sees and approaches an oil tanker on a jet ski ? The sea is so deep ,so alive. I am @8:8 and it is 1:22.00 how wonderful to have over an hour to enjoy this experience. Thank-you. Oh, and being in the Mid South of America here on the karst topography of the Ozark Plateau , our speech is a drawl so to hear accents of a different type is refreshing .We humans, we like each other, we like our differences, I think we're being lied to by the news. There's no racism. GOD Rules!
Been landlocked my whole life, watching this gave me some kind of familiar feeling. Maybe from my Norwegian heritage. I can't imagine how the Vikings dealt with seas like this on those longships. Incredible video of the raw nature of the ocean. Sub'd and liked. I envy you. True freedom

Amazing Men!!! One can only admire them. My Dads two brothers were Merchant Men, one a Ships Engineer and the other a first mate...real Men.. God Bless Them.
We steamed up from South America..I was on a LST...hit heavy weather about two days out of Port..we were doing 25 degrees rolls and pitching really bad...the Navy crew most of them had never been to sea We stood their watches as most were seasick!...watching this almost made me seasick!..good job
38 degrees Celsius here in Australia. Cold drinks - check, fan on - check, snacks - check, new Bigwavemaster1 video - sorted. Cheers Graham good to know you guys are safely back on Terra Firma.
I know this was a long time ago but this vid is astounding! I dont know how your boat doesn't roll over, capsize or become airborn through some of those terrifying waves! Loved the part where you show a crewman trying to walk a hallway down below LOL There is no better example as to what Mother Nature's sea can do than this. I was totally mesmerized! Thanks for posting!!
This is amazing. First of all "WOW" to all the seaman. They are like "ah just another day". That ship is incredible. The windshield wipers are making more noise then the ship.
My wife just left the room before she barfed. Me.... I'm feeling the heave and roll in every fibre.... Thanks for this. It keeps the feel of a ship alive in my soul.

Some of these storms at sea, really produce huge waves to have to navigate in...I don't know how yall do it...especially not getting sea sick!! Yall definitely have nerves of steel and my complete respect...those waves look like the front of a tsunami. Mother nature sure puts up some obstacles for people to try and overcome!! I don't think that one can watch this video and not marvel, too, at the technology that goes into making a ship like this withstand this sort of punishment...of course, it definitely takes a brave captain and crew! Stay safe...please!! 💖🙏🚢⚓🌊💖
I have never been in this position but to tell you the truth there is distinct possibility that I would be scared to death. Kudos to these men of steel.....and salt.
I can’t swim very well but I remember I was 13 at the time of the British ferry leaving Zeeburge, Belgium 🇧🇪 ⛴ to Dover and sinking in 1987 with the loss of 188 souls drowned due to poorly carried out safety procedures of staff. The bow door was normally left open for a period of time letting in a small amount of water while leaving the port, unfortunately the crew member on duty was sleeping in their bunk, later this was found out not to be a unusual practice. 😴 The sea 🌊 filled into the lower cargo level moving the vehicles 🚗 around the ferry then it capsized. The crew member should have been awake and shutting the bow doors. I haven’t been on a ferry since. Scared the life out of me. I think anyone working at sea 🌊 are very brave as the sea can be very unpredictable and looks to be a harder way of earning a living with adrenaline rush . Beautiful but deadly. God Bless all at sea.
You guys are the cowboys of the ocean! Nobody can do what you guys do. Hats off to ya man, that’s not a job for the everyday man. Or woman. Love your vids. I’m hooked!
I have been there, from Rarow Islands to Shetland, on a container ship bound for Denmark. When it was peaking, the entire radar was whited out. A jolly ride. Stay safe
Thank you. I kind of miss it! I do remember Seas that rough, when you're not on watch. You can sleep like a baby! Used to put tennis shoes under one side of the bunk. Forming a taco shell, sleeping like a baby! I do remember some scary times at the chart table though! Anyway thank you, this is very comforting video to me. It makes me want to take a nap.

Reminds me of my days doing search and rescue off the North Carolina coast in a full blown Nor'easter - in an 82 foot Coast Guard Cutter! Rock and roll baby!! GOOD TIMES!!
Whereabouts were you stationed? I'm about 3 miles as the crow flies from USCG Station Wrightsville Beach, and about 7 (give or take) from where USCGC Dilligence is moored on the Cape Fear River. Also a retired SAR K-9 handler.
@@sierratrilogy I was stationed at (then) Group Fort Macon as a RM2 (Radioman), but jumped at the chance to fill in on the 82 footers who were there for patrol / SAR duty. That's how I ended up on the USCGC POINT HURON for a SAR case during the storm off of Cape Fear.
@@williamaichinger2358 Not many for sure. Out of the people that did their first trip at sea in the Southern Ocean in seas that are like this on average, only about one in four could cope and go on to work at sea for years, but also had to weed out the ones that could not do the work or caused trouble with the crew etc. It's the tiredness that gets them more than sea sickness does. We call it being broken. They do not know how to get that second wind over and over week after week.
My dad was lost at sea north of the Shetlands, working on a fishing trawler out of Fleetwood. He was blown overboard in a storm, at night, and 15 minutes before the crew realised he was missing. Imagine the terror.
It’s difficult to comprehend but, when the initial panic is over, it is supposed to be quite a peaceful way to go. Probably no conciliation to you but I nearly drowned once and have spoken to other people who have been in the same situation. You are overcome with a feeling of peace & acceptance.

Windshield wipers lull me to sleep. Though the engine or motor running also helps. Reminds me of roadtripping with my pops. Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon. Absolutely golden you guys. Super thanks.
It’s those legendary rogue waves you hear about that come out of nowhere that I’d be afraid of. But I get that if seamen were bothered by that thought, ships wouldn’t venture out to open seas. Shipping is an ancient and honorable life!
Take me onboard. I like too work with you guys. In a strange way I feel relaxed when I know I'm no2 and small. And I don't get seasickness. Those waves are huge! Respect!❤👍 I'm a marine engineer btw...

YOU DON'T add a 'musical soundtrack' and that makes your videos enjoyable and watchable. TBH, I want to hear the sound of the waves pounding on the hull. That's raw power.
Oh, it's rare atmospheric! I love long videos. The farther I looked, the more atmospheric it was. This contrast of deadly frightening element and cozy room with lamp light and wet window. It's a pity you have tea but have no sofa. I love the way it was shooted. Beautifuly moments of being on the Earth. Without any pathos, it's just beautiful.
Buildings of water! I'm reading Goncharov's novel Frigate Pallada right now: "...заскрипел трап, хлопнула дверь, упал графин, или кто-нибудь вскакивает с постели и бранится, облитый водою, хлынувшей к нему из полупортика прямо на тюфяк. Утомленный, заснешь опять; вдруг удар, точно подземный, так что сердце дрогнет - проснешься: ничего - это поддало в корму, то есть ударило волной… И так до утра! Всё еще было сносно, не более того, что мы уже испытали прежде. Но утром 12-го января дело стало посерьезнее. "Буря", - сказали бы вы, а мои товарищи называли это очень свежим ветром. Я пробовал пойти наверх или "на улицу", как я называл верхнюю палубу, но ходить было нельзя. Я постоял у шпиля, посмотрел, как море вдруг скроется из глаз совсем под фрегат и перед вами палуба стоит стоймя, то вдруг скроется палуба и вместо нее очутится стена воды, которая так и лезет на вас."
@@sd3named It sounds like the very first trip that I filmed. Unfortunately I was only filming 1 second a day so did not capture the full story. We had 2 bridge windows smashed which sent water all the way down to the engine room. After that, every time we hit a big wave and I could hear water running into the deck I would think it was running inside to the engine room. th-cam.com/video/Ty4bwrE5Yzc/w-d-xo.html
@@Bigwavemaster1 Great film!)) I envy you. Like someone says in your video: This work is like a free VIP tour! It was joke of course. I always dreaming of living through storm at ship. But I have no illusions. My vestibular system doesn't give me a chance. So if I ended up on a ship, my acting role was lying down and hating the whole world.)
I’m at 3:42 and the view from the camera, is truly superb!! due to the way that you shot the video, it’s as if the person that is viewing it, it’s right there on the bridge and back right around the area of the camera. Perfectly priceless!! So many days in my life I remember that view and then I would turn and look out over, towards the stern. But to get a really outstanding view of the waves from the stern on a ship, one must go back, to the stern. That is one of the reasons that I truly loved absolutely loved working on deep sea-going Tugs. I did that for right about 7 years in my 30 plus years of going to sea. The Tugs, all 5 was a sister build, identical to the 1st one. The Ocean Wave. 155 feet in length, 80 feet in breadth. Fully loaded with fuel fresh water, lube oil, she would draw 24 feet in depth.
I’ve just taken a look at Ocean Wave. She’s quite some vessel. Getting a view over the stern is not easy on this vessel since we have all those cranes, davits and railings in the way. No one seemed to have filming in mind when the layout was arranged. My previous vessel was much better and can be seen on my older videos.
@@Bigwavemaster1 I understand. She is an excellent vessel. And there is nothing like being in the North Sea. Except if you ever sail off Cape Horn. The Drake Passage. Named after Sir Francis Drake is best known for his circumnavigation of the world in a single expedition, from 1577 to 1580. This area is also called, “Tierra del Fuego” and it is the southernmost, smallest, and least populous Argentine province. The territory of the current province had been inhabited by indigenous people for more than 12,000 years, since they migrated south of the mainland. It was first spotted by Ferdinand Magellan.
Never been down that part of the world but very familiar with Sir Francis Drake. We are both from the same part of the world. Here he is most famous for his part in beating the Spanish Armada.
To be on the sea, and feel its strength and ruthless mystique is dangerously enchanting. There is an allure to its magnificence, and its sheer overwhelming capricious nature. Riding the sea during a storm, is like being a flea on a dragon's back during full flight. It's terrifyingly awesome.
Rogue waves are fairly common. Don’t be fooled by the Hollywood hype. A rogue wave is simply a wave that comes from a different direction from the rest.
Some of those looked a bit roguish....Was watching the whole vid, and 1:09:20 looked a bit of a'different' one {to a landlubbers eyes} as it was 'two in one'... with a crest at the top..but at least it was coming from the same direction...so maybe not a 'rogue' but still a mighty big bar steward.
I bet when these guys get back to port after spending so long onboard a ship in such rough waters there more uneasy on land than what they were at sea 🤔 stay safe guys.
Que privilegio passar meses navegando em alto mar, enfrentando todos os tipos de perigos e ao mesmo tempo desfrutando desta maravilha que nos foi dada pelo criador!

Mesmerizing footage of forces of nature and professional crew. I was wondering if you can make any real progress (relative to land) in those weather conditions or is it more of an up/down movement? Bow into waves/wind and enough power to remain in control and then wait for the storm to pass?
calculus77 You’ve pretty much hit the nail on the head with the last part of your comment except we aren’t actually trying to get anywhere. We are looking after a couple of oil platforms.
@@Bigwavemaster1 Cool. I'm sure an ERRV is one of the most capable ships in rough weather conditions, regardless of size.

This is so awesome I have always want be in a ship in there huge waves this is probably going to be to closest I will ever get nice job guys thank you.
These ships are so amazing and the crew and all you men wow this just blows me away I could watch all these forever, wish I could be there. And and be apart of it all.
Guys what an amazing job...the skill to navigate the vessel with those waves alone is just simply incredible. I wonder if Deirdre is why Bergen (Norway) is copping a lot of rain recently... I watched this video from start to finish and while it did not make me sea sick (I even ate breakfast while watching!!) I reckon I would be rather afraid for my life with those waves slamming the boat.
I was in the US Navy. In 1966 I was on board a carrier in 1966 coming home from Vietnam. Bet was between Japan and Midway Island we hit a typhoon with 150 MPH winds and 80 foot seas. We could only do five knots for steering We would go over a wave and our screws would come out of the water. Waves were coming over the flight deck 90 feet from the flight deck to the water. Some waves went as high as the 011th deck.
Hello, Wanda !!! I've been waiting for this to come in, and it is well worth the wait. You guys have the best seats in the North Atlantic, and the best equipment I've seen. What a great engineering crew you have with you ;-). Thanks for the video, and maybe slap Wanda's tail fin for me. My wife got on last night after a layover in Iceland, @ 66 N. Stay safe, lads.
Ah thanks for looking out for me mate! I'm trying it tonight as soon as i get my stupid government supplied 0 data jomama phone back to a free Mcfondles wifi source since whites have no rights in wanker USA ay.
Woke up with a MASSIVE stomach ache...took an Alka Seltzer and sat down to watch this...cleared it right up...the joys of having spent far too much time at sea, and knowing what 'upsets the stomach' can calm it, and vice-versa...Green-Eggs-and-Ham, anyone? LOL
I give you men alot of credit. I am not brave enough to do your job. Just watching this sends fear through my veins. Every time the ship crests a wave, and starts going down, in my brain the ship will keep going down. I mean like plunge right through the bottom of the wave and keep on going down to the bottom of the ocean. The thought of that just terrifies me, the cold dark abyss just waiting to swallow me up. Thanks for sharing, i will probably have nightmares tonite and drown in my sleep. M.
You need more subscribers honestly, this is real, raw footage of the ocean in it's TRUE form, I haven't come across any other youtuber that does what you do and records it as it's happening from the bridge. Stay safe and batten down the hatches lol sorry I had to

That looks so cool, being out on those massive waves. I love how one minute there's a huge wave looming above you, next minute you way up high looking down at the waves below.
You'd have to be absolutely impervious to motion sickness though, lol. 10 minutes of that and I'd lose my lunch.

Some of these storms at sea, really produce huge waves to have to navigate in...I don't know how yall do it...especially not getting sea sick!! Yall definitely have nerves of steel and my complete respect...those waves look like the front of a tsunami. Mother nature sure puts up some obstacles for people to try and overcome!! I don't think that one can watch this video and not marvel, too, at the technology that goes into making a ship like this withstand this sort of punishment...of course, it definitely takes a brave captain and crew! Stay safe...please!! 💖🙏🚢⚓🌊💖
👍🏻😊
I have never been in this position but to tell you the truth there is distinct possibility that I would be scared to death. Kudos to these men of steel.....and salt.
I can’t swim very well but I remember I was 13 at the time of the British ferry leaving Zeeburge, Belgium 🇧🇪 ⛴ to Dover and sinking in 1987 with the loss of 188 souls drowned due to poorly carried out safety procedures of staff. The bow door was normally left open for a period of time letting in a small amount of water while leaving the port, unfortunately the crew member on duty was sleeping in their bunk, later this was found out not to be a unusual practice. 😴 The sea 🌊 filled into the lower cargo level moving the vehicles 🚗 around the ferry then it capsized. The crew member should have been awake and shutting the bow doors. I haven’t been on a ferry since. Scared the life out of me.
I think anyone working at sea 🌊 are very brave as the sea can be very unpredictable and looks to be a harder way of earning a living with adrenaline rush . Beautiful but deadly. God Bless all at sea.
I’m afraid that this is the best I can do.

Reminds me of my days doing search and rescue off the North Carolina coast in a full blown Nor'easter - in an 82 foot Coast Guard Cutter! Rock and roll baby!! GOOD TIMES!!
Whereabouts were you stationed? I'm about 3 miles as the crow flies from USCG Station Wrightsville Beach, and about 7 (give or take) from where USCGC Dilligence is moored on the Cape Fear River.
Also a retired SAR K-9 handler.

@@williamaichinger2358
Not many for sure. Out of the people that did their first trip at sea in the Southern Ocean in seas that are like this on average, only about one in four could cope and go on to work at sea for years, but also had to weed out the ones that could not do the work or caused trouble with the crew etc. It's the tiredness that gets them more than sea sickness does. We call it being broken. They do not know how to get that second wind over and over week after week.
Agree..

My dad was lost at sea north of the Shetlands, working on a fishing trawler out of Fleetwood. He was blown overboard in a storm, at night, and 15 minutes before the crew realised he was missing. Imagine the terror.
It’s difficult to comprehend but, when the initial panic is over, it is supposed to be quite a peaceful way to go.
Probably no conciliation to you but I nearly drowned once and have spoken to other people who have been in the same situation. You are overcome with a feeling of peace & acceptance.
Do ships not have safety ropes or. Harnesses to hook on while you are outside on these ships

Buildings of water!
I'm reading Goncharov's novel Frigate Pallada right now:
"...заскрипел трап, хлопнула дверь, упал графин, или кто-нибудь вскакивает с постели и бранится, облитый водою, хлынувшей к нему из полупортика прямо на тюфяк.
Утомленный, заснешь опять; вдруг удар, точно подземный, так что сердце дрогнет - проснешься: ничего - это поддало в корму, то есть ударило волной… И так до утра! Всё еще было сносно, не более того, что мы уже испытали прежде. Но утром 12-го января дело стало посерьезнее. "Буря", - сказали бы вы, а мои товарищи называли это очень свежим ветром. Я пробовал пойти наверх или "на улицу", как я называл верхнюю палубу, но ходить было нельзя. Я постоял у шпиля, посмотрел, как море вдруг скроется из глаз совсем под фрегат и перед вами палуба стоит стоймя, то вдруг скроется палуба и вместо нее очутится стена воды, которая так и лезет на вас."
@@sd3named It sounds like the very first trip that I filmed. Unfortunately I was only filming 1 second a day so did not capture the full story.
We had 2 bridge windows smashed which sent water all the way down to the engine room.
After that, every time we hit a big wave and I could hear water running into the deck I would think it was running inside to the engine room.

I’m at 3:42 and the view from the camera, is truly superb!! due to the way that you shot the video, it’s as if the person that is viewing it, it’s right there on the bridge and back right around the area of the camera. Perfectly priceless!! So many days in my life I remember that view and then I would turn and look out over, towards the stern. But to get a really outstanding view of the waves from the stern on a ship, one must go back, to the stern. That is one of the reasons that I truly loved absolutely loved working on deep sea-going Tugs. I did that for right about 7 years in my 30 plus years of going to sea. The Tugs, all 5 was a sister build, identical to the 1st one. The Ocean Wave. 155 feet in length, 80 feet in breadth. Fully loaded with fuel fresh water, lube oil, she would draw 24 feet in depth.
I’ve just taken a look at Ocean Wave. She’s quite some vessel.
Getting a view over the stern is not easy on this vessel since we have all those cranes, davits and railings in the way. No one seemed to have filming in mind when the layout was arranged.
My previous vessel was much better and can be seen on my older videos.
@@Bigwavemaster1 I understand. She is an excellent vessel. And there is nothing like being in the North Sea. Except if you ever sail off Cape Horn. The Drake Passage. Named after
Sir Francis Drake is best known for his circumnavigation of the world in a single expedition, from 1577 to 1580. This area is also called, “Tierra del Fuego” and it is the southernmost, smallest, and least populous Argentine province. The territory of the current province had been inhabited by indigenous people for more than 12,000 years, since they migrated south of the mainland. It was first spotted by Ferdinand Magellan.
Never been down that part of the world but very familiar with Sir Francis Drake. We are both from the same part of the world.
Here he is most famous for his part in beating the Spanish Armada.

How often do you encounter a rogue wave? BTW, great video! Many thanks to you and your crew for letting yourselves be filmed.
Rogue waves are fairly common. Don’t be fooled by the Hollywood hype. A rogue wave is simply a wave that comes from a different direction from the rest.
Three sisters often?
Some of those looked a bit roguish....Was watching the whole vid, and 1:09:20 looked a bit of a'different' one {to a landlubbers eyes} as it was 'two in one'... with a crest at the top..but at least it was coming from the same direction...so maybe not a 'rogue' but still a mighty big bar steward.
So no waves like the giant one from the movie Perfect Storm?@@Bigwavemaster1

I was wondering if you can make any real progress (relative to land) in those weather conditions or is it more of an up/down movement? Bow into waves/wind and enough power to remain in control and then wait for the storm to pass?

@@eileenthomas6342 Thank you very much :)
Guys what an amazing job...the skill to navigate the vessel with those waves alone is just simply incredible. I wonder if Deirdre is why Bergen (Norway) is copping a lot of rain recently...
I watched this video from start to finish and while it did not make me sea sick (I even ate breakfast while watching!!) I reckon I would be rather afraid for my life with those waves slamming the boat.
Thanks watching all the way through 😊
Big Wave, you never disappoint! 🌹👍🏽⚓
More to come 🙄
Thanks again for another great video and my lull me to sleep sound track. Happy New Year to you all.
Thank you very much
I was in the US Navy. In 1966 I was on board a carrier in 1966 coming home from Vietnam. Bet was between Japan and Midway Island we hit a typhoon with 150 MPH winds and 80 foot seas. We could only do five knots for steering
We would go over a wave and our screws would come out of the water. Waves were coming over the flight deck
90 feet from the flight deck to the water. Some waves went as high as the 011th deck.
Wow!!
The full trip from which this video is taken

Hello, Wanda !!! I've been waiting for this to come in, and it is well worth the wait. You guys have the best seats in the North Atlantic, and the best equipment I've seen. What a great engineering crew you have with you ;-). Thanks for the video, and maybe slap Wanda's tail fin for me. My wife got on last night after a layover in Iceland, @ 66 N. Stay safe, lads.
She was taken in for a bit of a refurb and paint job after the latest storm.

The amount of roll you lads deal with is just stunning. Wanda looks darn good for being on deck 24/7. Great refurb.
Awesome to watch ur channel Graeme..... Fantastic....the best
Sometimes I'm imagining me surfing these waves
Thank you very much.
These would have been perfect for surfing 🏄♂️

In the Coast Guard this was fried pork chop weather, hardly anyone ate when the deck was doing this.
We never change the menu for the weather 😊

Gotta give those guys thumbs up....that’s not an easy go....merchant marines...
Not merchant marines, they're the rescue team. ERRV stands for Emergency Response Rescue Vessel.
Thank you very much.

Woke up with a MASSIVE stomach ache...took an Alka Seltzer and sat down to watch this...cleared it right up...the joys of having spent far too much time at sea, and knowing what 'upsets the stomach' can calm it, and vice-versa...Green-Eggs-and-Ham, anyone? LOL
This should sort you out 😂🌊🏄♀️

I give you men alot of credit. I am not brave enough to do your job. Just watching this sends fear through my veins. Every time the ship crests a wave, and starts going down, in my brain the ship will keep going down. I mean like plunge right through the bottom of the wave and keep on going down to the bottom of the ocean. The thought of that just terrifies me, the cold dark abyss just waiting to swallow me up. Thanks for sharing, i will probably have nightmares tonite and drown in my sleep. M.
That paints quite a picture 😂
We’re in a storm at the moment. Look out for next trip’s video
@@Bigwavemaster1 Thanks for getting back to me, thats more then a painting, its night terrors on the sea. M.

You need more subscribers honestly, this is real, raw footage of the ocean in it's TRUE form, I haven't come across any other youtuber that does what you do and records it as it's happening from the bridge. Stay safe and batten down the hatches lol sorry I had to
Thank you very much. Spread the word 😊
