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.

It is a bitch when you have to jog between the crests just to maintain steerage, in 140 ft Steel Crabber, or Coastal Freighter... -- Bruce in alaska add path after fast to reply |

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 to maintain steerage, in 140 ft Steel Crabber, or Coastal Freighter... More fun is to do floaters off the crest with a 120 ft crewboat. Joe -- Bruce in alaska add path after fast to reply- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - |

You can make anything look like anything if you are a good photographer. That is why there is money in the business. In the summer there is a scarcity of waves in the North Atlantic. Biggest on one crossing were said to be fifteen feet. From the bar, the one above the wheelhouse, they looked like nothing. There was no roll whatever, but you could feel the up and down and see the pitching. Casady |

From Wikipeda: (taken from Boditch most likely) When directly being generated and affected by the local winds, a wind wave system is called a wind sea. After the wind ceases to blow, wind waves are called swell. Or, more generally, a swell consists of wind generated waves that are not — or hardly — affected by the local wind at the same moment. They have been generated elsewhere, or some time ago.[1] Wind waves in the ocean are called ocean surface waves. **************** Since they were from the NE with onl;y 5-600 miles fetch it precludes any "ocean swell". If they were swells they would have been Gulf Swells, but I contend they were "Wind waves" Joe |

Thats what were talking about. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lC2AGQZtsvM 20-30 kts for 4-5 days is not enough wind to make 11 fter's in 12,000 ft of water? Wind waves would have been steeper, and closer together, too. Why? Joe - Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - |

After that, they veered to the NE and E and died down quite quickly. Had you not panicked and called for a premature evacuation you could have broad reached then run home. Like I said, you should have hove-to and rode out the little cold front instead of stubbornly trying to stay on schedule by bashing into it. Dummy! You are no sailor - just another motor head.

Wilbur Hubbard Yooo..douche bag, you're a perv, and can not follow along. This was serveral days before the bad front. During the later front hove to would have rolled the boat, just to much current against the waves..running would have pooped her. No one ever panicked and the best part was no one was hurt seriously or lost. The boat sunk that night, with 3 pumps running and a lister generator, that I know would have kept running for weeks ,or until I made it back out to the area. Had the boat been floating the next morning than I might have given a second thought to your stupity. So you are wrong and I'm right, again. So say what you want Neal Warren your opinion has been well proved here to be of no value what-so-ever. Your meek, weak and worthless at best. I think I'm going to take a clue from everyone else in the world and shun you, any glimmer of honor, diginity, and self respect you ever had left you years ago. Adios pendejo Joe |

Adios pendejo Joe Joe, Abandoning ship had to have been a hard call. I've always thought highly of you for having put the people first. There can only be one captain on board. I'd hate to be constantly second guessing whether the skipper had my best interest at heart. You have proved where your heart is. I'd sail with you anytime (if you'd have me). Respects, Richard -- Richard Lamb http://www.home.earthlink.net/~cavelamb/ "The clock of life is wound but once, and no man has the power to tell just when the hands will stop, at late or early hour... Now is the only time you own. Live, love, toil with a will. Place no faith in time. For the clock may soon be still." |
