re description: it would probably take hours to hit the bottom. if you jump out of a plane it takes minutes to hit the ground from 4000m, going through water would take forever. not that I think you should try it...

damn... that sure looks like fun

I miss the fresh clean air . the ocean waves , the winds wow , we live in a bountiful world. The Navy showed me the oceans and I am happy to have traveled the world through the oceans.

I've been out in much smaller seas than this and it was very stressful and nerve-racking.

Paul, Great shot of the waves. Thanks. Are you using a HYDROVANE? We are thinking of getting one before our departure in our WESTSAIL 42. How do (did) you like it? Did it perform as advertised? Would you recommend it?

I served aboard the U.S. Naval Vessel U.S.S. Austin 30 or so years ago, when a Nor'easter hit us off N.C. (i.e. "The Graveyard of The Atlantic") There were swells of 40-50 ft. that we had to endure for hours. (it was G.Q. for at least 14 hrs) Limited personnel were allowed on deck, the rest had to be tied to their racks. (I was indeed terrified) Including 800 Marines, who berthed on the lower decks with their equipment. After the storm, we unloaded the Marines...& it took SIX MONTHS to get the stink of vomit out of their compartment. OO-RAH!

Would a drouge have been in order?

FOR ME THAT'S FLAT SEA LIKE A TABLE

It's so hard to capture the real size of the waves with a camera but I think you managed it very well. Great shots.

Paul Collister· sailing his baba 30 ft r
0m 0sLength
Sailing my Baba 30 en route to the Caribbean Update .. I finally got round to digging the video out and getting the date of the recording. Much to my surprise this was filmed near the start of our Atlantic crossing from the Canaries to St Lucia, So my initial title was way out, in my defence, an ocean looks pretty much the same wherever you are with no land as a reference. The log for that day at 12:00 on the 2nd Dec 2006 has me at 22.0N, 25.5W, Wind 25-30 Knots from the East. We are about 200NM North of Sao Vicente in Cape Verde or 500NM W of Africa. We have about 4000m (2.5 miles ) of water below us, I believe it would take several minutes for the boat to reach the bottom. The log entry states, Rough seas, both tired.
