There isn't one of them, that hasn't seen a Rogue Wave...come up and slam their vessel that wasn't at least twice what the sea was doing at the time...... Me been there, seen that, and lived to tell the tale....... Lets see..... my first day on the Bering was 1983, December 26. Spent some time up around the horse shoe, some around the mushroom, and even hit the donut hole a year later. Got to puke my guts out side the Elbo Room a time or two. Hung with some to the Magone guys on the beach, good friend from high school lived in the only dome in Dutch, called in orders of just about anything and had "Any Cab" deliver it, and generally had a fun time. I've left foot prints on the celling and still say, their aint no such thing as a rogue wave. Still Bobbing Oh, I almost forgot.............. GFY So you went to Dutch, and spent some time in the Bars..... that's really a Big Whoop.... Now tell us all the boat you GreenHorned on, or maybe the boat you Deckhanded on, after that, as a Fullshare Deckhand. Lots of guys talk big in the bars, and turn out to be processors from Unalaska, who never spent an hour, standing wheelwatch in a 90 Knot breeze off the Port Quarter, with the B ow buried under 30 ft of Green Water. There are guys who have fished that country in a 58Ft Limit Seiner. Now that takes Guts.......... Me not that gutsy...... at least not any more........ |
