Hi there You:

A couple things.......

1) It seems my memory is a bit sharper than yours. If you remember
correctly.... Uh, maybe I should say simply say remember, we had this
same conversation a few months ago the last time Rogue Waves surfaced.
You did the same thing then as now: A) started with "if youve ever
been in the Bering...." B) devalue my experience naming me a "bar
fly", C) attempting to build your own credibility with a few sea
stories. Maybe you should simply copy and past. It would be faster.

2) Begging your Saltyness. I'll end and say, to believe a huge
anomalous wave is cast up by the hand of Neptunus Rex to smite hapless
mariners is a somewhat outdated explanation. This simply puts boaters
in the role of victim. A step in a helpful direction requires belief
that a few really big waves are found at the 3rd SD (wings/tails) of
some scatter plot. But that is not adequate either. I ask in all
sincerity, as I did last time;

Please list those items that create/contribute to the likelihood of
"Rogue Waves."

There is finally some really good information available that not only
describe those seldom seen really big wave process, but will actually
PREDICT the likelihood of an event. So my dear Saltyness what are
those conditions and process? Or do you have only criticism and glory
day stories?

Gotta get back to work. My 2 hour library connection is running.

I am not a Meteriologist, or a Climatologist, or a lot of other
Scientific Ologists, but I have been a Mariner, on the Bering in
winter. I have seen, with my own eyes, and lived to tell the
tale. There are those of my brother Mariners, who have not lived
to tell the tale. Rogue Waves DO exist. They have been documented
on film, AND by Mariners, who have as I have, lived to tell the
tale. You may not believe that they exist, but that doesn't mean they
don't exist, and your experience, or lack thereof, only shows that
you aren't a Creditable Source, of information on the question.
When you see the damage done by this type of wave, like the Northland
Marine Barge that had the first three stacks of containers, on the bow,
Squashed FLAT by a single wave, while navigating between Nome, and
Unalaska, southbound, then you begin to understand just what the issues
are, for the question at hand.

sonny, you have no idea, of what you speak...........
