Crew Boat Stuck Offshore in Bad Weather

Will the person who posted this let me know if he was the one who videoed it and put it on you tube. I would like permission to use it in Federal Court.

looks like a good day in the North Sea.

I'm on this boat right now its called the Capt Ron

Yes it would be better if you could get the bow into the wind. Problem is that even if you tie it off from the bow, it is going to want to switch ends like a weathervane because the house is forward. That might put the boat broadside in the trough. I would say to

Yeah captains are stupid, sounds like a typical statement from your typical everyday deckhand, wait aren't you decking so you can be one of those stupid Capts ? Lol

Im about to head back offshore now.i swear captains are fycking stupid man.you cant blame his deckhand for this one

I was thinking same thing. Much smoother if it was on bow.

Should be tied off from the bow.

get on a nose line an hang off dum ass.

i think the name of the crew boat is the capt. ron it sucks when this happens to us.

stupid fucks ! should of never left the dock !! idiots

Rocked him pretty good at 00:37. He's set up correctly, though. Engines ahead slow. Tethered. Swells at the quarter. Nice work!

@tovemaersk What's a quarter?

@sailingjacobe if your running with a following sea i would agree that it is more comfortable to have the sea on the quater, but being teathered like this means you expose the stern counter to the sea and get slammed with every swell where as bow to the vessel will ride a static line much more easily and without the slamming and rolling.

@tovemaersk If you notice he is takeing the waves on his quarter. Takeing waves on your quater is better on the bat and the crew.

@sailingjacobe Wouldnt he be better to be bow into it, rather then being held beam on? seems a crazy way to lay to weather.

@tovemaersk So that the boat can ride the seas easyer

Whats with the stern line off the quater?
