We had 11 fters for 4-5 days out of the NE. Again it's hard to
determine wave height from video's but thats what they were. They were
spaced a good 100 ft, it's not like they were splashing over the
wheelhouse, more like a slow rise and fall, a nice ride infact.

Joe,

I think I understand your plight in that you constantly overestimate wave
size.

It's because all your adult life you've been telling Terry this:

----------------------- is six inches.


Bwahahhahahahahahhahaha.

Those aren't waves, more like just a bit of "chop"... If you want to see
REAL Waves, come on up to the North Pacific, during Crab Season, in the
winter.... them is REAL WAVES... they Start at 20 ft and go on up to 40
- 60 Ft, and start with 50 Kt breezes and on up to 120 Kt Gales....
You know your in one when the Snow is blowing UP, and the Engine Governor
is trying to keep up with the Prop, coming out of the water, as each
wave passes.... You fair weather mariners are a hoot to read......

Hey Bruce,

My brother spent alot of time out of Dutch harbor on the Sherman
WHEC-720.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKK5gerz9OA they would head that way
every crab season. We are both pretty good at measuring waves.

Lots of hammering ice, and lousy weather..You know there are better
places to sail right?

We all know the only wave Nilbur ever saw was splashing around in a
crusty cedar bucket. Do you have any video of a boat you were on, or
do you just watch the Deadlest Catch like bOb and pretend ? ;0)

I am the last of the Alaska Cannery Radiomen... and I have been on my
share of Crabbers, Draggers, and Shrimpers, (Before Video Cameras
existed) during my 40+ years in the Biz. Now I am semi-reTired and have
a nice gig being the Winterman at one of those canneries. I know many of
the skippers, in the fleet, as well as having mutual Friends, and
acquaintances, thru out the fishing community in the North Pacific.
Once had a Ride from SandPoint to Squaw Harbor that took 2 days....
and I did a Shelikof Straight run from Port Bailey to Alitak that took
3 days... It is a bitch when you have to jog between the crests just
to maintain steerage, in 140 ft Steel Crabber, or Coastal Freighter...

That north edge of the Shelikof Strait looks like a nice area to sail
coastal, lots to explore. Best I've done in the way of Alaska was to
work on a supply boat named the Point Barrow.

*It is a bitch when you have to jog between the crests just

More fun is to do floaters off the crest with a 120 ft crewboat.
