|  A bit Fresh
Just to give you a bit of an idea of what it can be like at sea. I can assure you that this is not "rough" to us old hands but maybe "A bit Fresh".
Note the water coming out of the hawse pipes, blown up there by the pressure of the wave, and the forward fairleads. As she hits a wave like this the bow will suddenly leap up and you will feel like you are in an express lift to the point where you feel the 'G' force and feel heavy. A few seconds later the bow will drop like a stone and you will feel so light that you can take steps three at a time easily.
As for a caption how about:
"Slowing down's for whimps Mr Mate, give her all she's got, we'll let the Chief out tomorrow!"

Many years on the North Atlantic gave me a great love for this kind of thing that my current routine sadly lacks.
Nowadays we are lucky to get a 10 foot swell and that has them all running for the bins!!

Now this is a bit more like it. Just imagine trying to sleep on this between watches!!
It takes a lot longer when you are going uphill all day as well and after a few days your legs ache so much with trying to resist the movement.

| that last one looks scary!!!
iv always heard about "flat spots" in the sea where containers fall off the super container ships and just float there. and if your lucky enough to see it before you hit it it looks like a flat piece of sea.
ever seen one Richard?
