What do oceanologists say about the generation of a rogue wave?
Anybody know? When conditions are fairly benign, say maybe 8-10 foot

Had friends on a large cruise ship in a hurricane off Cape Horn. They
got hit by two in a row. Even the crew thought they were goners. Swept
deck furniture off the 11th deck.
