Not so bad. The masthead didn't disappear once.
Nice video though, thanks.

I would like to see the vessel in the same waves ("marejada" means sea
surge or swell) only running before them, not plowing head-on.

I liked the music as well..Perfect for plowing thru waves.

Would be boring...She's a 13 -15 kt boat at best. You can tell the
skipper had her hooked up, and was pushing her hard in the jetties for
filming effects... Once she got in deep water I bet it mellowed out
mucho.

Hey Joe... What was the function of that vessel shown in the video?

It seemed like the accomodations where rather elaborate based on it's
length. Which may not mean anything signifigant... I'm just a nov-
ice/layperson wondering.

I'm certain with your background... you would know.

Thanks

She is a North Sea stand by boat.

She would shuttle cargo in a field... and standby for kicks,
blow-outs, and fire evac.
Her deck is to small to supply and she has no tow gear.

Stand-by is the best work in the oil patch for a skipper IMO, even if
the boats are a bit smaller than the supply boats. I did a year or so
stand by for Mobil...best fishing in my life...work 2-3 hrs a day
shuttling cargo from platform to platform, rest of the time hanging off
the rig fishing, reading, sleeping. Caught a 220 pound warsaw grouper
one day.

Yeah right. Gilligan I gave up the 100 ton boats because of thousands
of hours standing out in the cold, in the middle of the gulf, soaked in
salt spray chapped by freezing 20+ kt bone chilling winds off loading
cargo at drilling rigs dripping mud, drillwater, caustic soda, black
magic, ect.... ect ect...you can not tell me squat about manning the
helm out in the elements.

This is a 50 ton twin screw...see the outside stern controls?

FN SUCKS, but the boats are a blast, nimble fast, exciting..I can make
them dance.

I'd much rather stand in a warm glass box a couple stories above the
bad weather and sip hot Coffee.
