Biggest Wave Ever Surfed

nickash5 says:

Was on a small boat in fine weather once a all it had was a wooden shelter on top and a motor. Weather went bad and waves went up. I was hanging on to a rope while the boat was diving below the waves, holding my breath at the front of the boat. Storms and water spouts appear from nowhere sometimes.

Wow. "January. One of the coldest months of the year." Good job writing the script, high school intern.

The cruise ship people were terrified and feared for their life. In the Navy we called it Tuesday.
I have pictures of 60 ft waves that we hit on the USS Grand Canyon in the North Atlantic in late March before we went to condition zebra and shut everything down as it was getting worse. There was a tiny minesweeper next to us that would actually disappear when the waves hit. Excellent ride.

reading thru the comments, I was surprised to see no mention of the southern ocean – the roaring 40's as it were.

How to make a 60 sec video in to a 12 min waste of time.

I don't normally get sea sick but I think if make the exception for these conditions
If you want to know what it was like to sail the smaller wooden sail ships way back. That's an easy answer. All you have to do is travel from central America around Florida and into England and name t the thousands of ships that never made it.

Watching this doesn't scare so much as make me feel sea sick lol.. scary seeing that tsunami though, really is just a wall of water as far as you can see!
