drift_bear Posted November 17, 2010 Share Posted November 17, 2010 as some of you know, i work i on the ferries going back and forth between aberdeeen - orkney - shetland. the north sea can get pretty rough and change real quick, thats us now tied up for tonight and hopefully another 2 nights due to this storm front coming in and taking in cyclonic conditions. heres a couple of videos from last time we sailed in these conditions last year and caused quite alot of damage to the ship and our contents (i.e vehicles and passangers) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ms4wzXuKpNA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yquZ6wFSBMI&feature=related Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
