GIANT MONSTER waves
I looked at the other compelling videos JoeS Butcher posted on
youtoub. The one that really gave me a laugh was the one Joe titled, GIANT MONSTER WAVES ! http://www.youtube.com/user/JoeSButc.../1/EomTf3hczco Dear joe if those are an example what you call giant or monster waves please stay in port with Bruce, Willbur et al. From where I come from those conditions are considered, snotty and uncomfortable but certainly not M O N S T E R........ But being from the oil patch i guess its all relative. I think its time you took a god look around and see what other people are doing........ I think you might just learn somthing. Good luck, Bob |

The one that really gave me a laugh was the one Joe titled, GIANT MONSTER WAVES ! http://www.youtube.com/user/JoeSButc.../1/EomTf3hczco Bwahahahahhahahahahh! I thought that one was a riot, too. It's as if he were being facetious or something but he was dead serious. He clearly has never experienced a real 25 foot sea on a small sailing yacht. I have, and they are NOTHING like the 'chop' in that video. I've sailed in the Gulf Steam many a time during small craft advisories during cold front passages just to see what it was all about. I've sailed such big seas out there that close-by, large bulk carriers were completely lost from view behind 25-30 foot seas which were heaped up because of the north set of the Stream. No picnic but doable. Certainly nothing to abandon ship about. Dear joe if those are an example what you call giant or monster waves please stay in port with Bruce, Willbur et al. Hey, that's uncalled for comparing Joe's fraidy-cat ineptitude with my sailing skills. I've sailed more ocean miles than Joe and have taken little ole fifteen foot, cold front generated seas in stride. No one ever saw me claiming 10-15 footers were 25-footers. No one ever heard a call from me on the VHF crying like a baby and requesting a helicopter rescue. From where I come from those conditions are considered, snotty and uncomfortable but certainly not M O N S T E R........ But being from the oil patch i guess its all relative. I think its time you took a god look around and see what other people are doing........ I think you might just learn somthing. Good luck, Bob Joe needs to get his eyes checked and he needs to understand that viewing a 10-15 foot sea from his pilot house when the bow is facing the trough gives a very misleading estimate of wave height. The senses end up giving one a false horizontal where the size of the wave becomes exaggerated by a factor of two. But, every actual seaman knows this. This is why I say that Joe is no seaman.

Good luck, Bob And here I thought your off shore rigs pulled off the hole for bad weather. At least the loss of life on that rig that capsized off China a few years ago was blamed, in oil patch publications, on the Operator not pulling off. Cheers, Bruce (bruceinbangkokatgmaildotcom) |

Here is 11 ft seas Nellie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lC2AGQZtsvM The title "Giant Monster Waves" was used to attract non sailors like you and bOb who need to live vicariously thru real sailors. Much like you now worship and follow little Jessica. I know it's hard for lubbers like you and your puppets to understand, take a look at this vid, running 30 ft but don't look like it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_8hOai9hGQ Joe Wilbur Hubbard |

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 |

Joe 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. Wilbur Hubbard |

Bwahahhahahahahahhahaha. Wilbur Hubbard 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...... -- Bruce in alaska add path after fast to reply |

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) Joe |
