Anestty 0 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Where I live, we have, well, extreme extremes in weather. Below is a bulk ore carrier belonging to the company I work for. Every year in the north of Australia we have tropical Cyclones. This is the carrier Selkirk Settler, hovering of Dampier, in the north west of Western Australia - she is sitting out cyclone George, a category 4 cyclone that sadly killed three people.

erialc 2 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 Oh I get so seasick, years of travelling to and from Ireland on those damn ferries!...still can't stomach it now...yayy for planes! How on earth does anyone manage not to hide in such extremes let alone take pics....and it didn't really sink did it? Cool pics Coops! Link to comment
myles 2 Posted April 12, 2007 Share Posted April 12, 2007 and it didn't really sink did it? Don't worry those ships (or yards would be a better term) won't easily sink unless the hulk is damaged. But you gotta admire the courage of the ship crew. Link to comment
fRACTAL 0 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Wow! Thankfully I don't get seasick! (All those ferries to the isle of Arran have strengthened my stomach ) Brave crew! ~Doom Link to comment
Katran 0 Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 I dont get sea sick. This reminds me of my summer in Turkey. One day me and my frineds took a tourist boat trip and on the way back the weather got bad and the waves were very very high. I was on the deck at the front with some other people enjoying the ship going up and down not knowing that at the back of the ship everyone else was so sea sick that they were throwing up all over the place. Thouse were good times! Link to comment

Anestty I keep goin back over and over to stare at that first shot..it's really boggling gogo Link to comment
Griever 0 Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 I don't get sea sick but if I was on the deck I would have a heart attack. Strangely I get car sick though Link to comment
Indy13 5 Posted April 16, 2007 Share Posted April 16, 2007 I don't get any motion sickness at all. I actually enjoy a bumpy sea, I find it fun! ^_^ However those waves are FAR from bumpy and I doubt that I would enjoy them. :S Link to comment
Anestty 0 Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 I have been meaning to post these for a while. When I saw the pics above I was horrified and fascinated. So I googled! That first one is freaky! Summer cruise anyone! Link to comment
erialc 2 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 cool pics Coopsy! Can you imagine the holiday pics from that cruise! Link to comment
myles 2 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Indeed, just when you are sipping your fancy drinks on the yard, whooops and a wave slam in your face. Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 can't get enuff of these pix nature is so scary gogo Link to comment
OuttaTown 0 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Wow Anestty...Those are some awesome pictures. Making me want to get on that boat too .....As a dragon boat paddler, I often I had to deal with the waves (tons of from everywhere) and splashing. So... I got used to...but what I really can't stand is rather being inside a car, all claustrophobic, and feeling car sick... Link to comment
