I read "Voyages of the Adventure and Beagle" (vols 1-3, King, Fitzroy, and Darwin, 1839)again recently, it sounded amazing. If you want to read an authentic account, mostly involving the survey of the Straits of Magellan, I highly recommend reading the set. Photographic scans are available for free from the "The Complete Work of Charles Darwin Online" collection run by his descendants (because of a dishonest demographic that was putting altered stuff online to make it look like he said things that he never did say. All of the scans are original publications, high resolution, mostly from the Cambridge collection. Because of that dishonest religious demographic, only obtain Darwin from this source). The voyages began almost 200 years ago, but the accounts are a very good read.
Right. Go back a little further,and you have the Vikings crossing the North Sea in clinker-built, shallow draft vessels that flexed and twisted with every wave, and with gunwales that were feet above water. Yeah, I'm a wuss. I like modern boats with all the amenities... Radar, radio, galley and a head! These gents have just as much salt in their blood as any mariner of the past. ✌🏻🐱
@@PhoenixLyon well, a modern shoal draft mono or fixed keel cat usually run four to five and a half feet and do just fine. Granted the length to beam ratio is a bit different than a longship... What I find amazing as that the vikings did crossings on those things with such limited amounts of fresh water. Maybe we are all spoiled brats now, but I want a good water maker.

Ok then, I now know what I must do with my life. Lets say I'm already a certified marine engine mechanic, what more would I be needing for working on a ship like this?
WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! my respects !!! i am captain of a small yacht, and this is another league .... !! i would learn a lot if i had the chance to be with real Pros like you ...
"Is that the money shot?" Lol. It's amazing how you guys maintain your sanity and sense of humor while working in these conditions. I know you are just 'doing your job', but it's very brave. Love the channel, by the way. I definitely subscribed.
Sorry to hear you’re no longer going to be at sea. I think I speak for everyone who’s ever watched one of your videos, thank you because we enjoy the hell out of them. You and the other crew experienced some stuff very few other humans ever will. Giving us an insider look on life aboard a rescue vessel was eye opening and I’ll be damned if it wasn’t interesting as fuck. As a guy in southern Louisiana who has had family work on offshore drills in the Gulf of Mexico for decades we know how important you guys really are! I want to say Cheers from the States!!
I shall still be at sea, for now at least, but I shall not be making any more Month at Sea on an ERRV videos. The restrictions that I’ve had put on my filming have made it impossible for me to continue to make videos that would be of any interest. I hope enjoyed the series? Especially the earlier videos where I was allowed to film the oil workers up close. I know that they appreciated the view from the other side, as did their families at home. I hope to continue to film storms but they will also be restricted in content.

Ugly's an understatement for that last one! You and the crew deserve every penny of your pay and then some after what you go through and that's just the ocean, and the rescuing! You guys have my absolute respect and hope you and the crew always have a safe journey n always return to your families (whom I also feel for...they must get worried sick, and rightfully)
I'm speechless...I would never in hundreds of years have the heart to be in your place. When the video said "And the Damned right Ugly" I thought "NOOO" in shock. Honestly you all have brave hearts! Respect!

+apacheizm23 The winds reached over 100 knots and the seas over 20 meters. Not the worst weather we have been in but it is the worst I have managed to film. If it gets too bad I leave my cameras down below so that I can concentrate on what I'm doing. However, I now have a couple of Gopro that I can stick to the windows and just leave them running. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ty4bwrE5Yzc.html

Rouge waves are the ones that come from a different direction right? what happens if a large rogue wave comes from the side, do you try to turn into it or do you just hold on and pray?
If we see if we head into it. They can be quite common in bad weather so we have to keep a good lookout and head into the really big rogue waves while getting hit side on by the normal waves that are just big. We then have to turn back into the general direction of the storm until the next one comes. Not so easy at night time.
Thank you for watching. We are at sea at the moment and doing a double trip due to this virus thing. We have a Facebook page where you can follow our antics. m.facebook.com/bigwavemaster/?ref=bookmarks
So frightening yet impressive! Always makes me think of the line from Gordon Lightfoot's "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald". Have you heard it? Lightfoot is a legend here in Canada. The line goes "Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?". Chilling. Best from Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

It's amazing isn't it James? A year after I filmed this we smashed two bridge windows in the space of a few days. It was not the windows that failed but the studs in the window frames. In the course of a storm we would be hit by these size waves several times a day for two-three weeks and, as I'm sure you know, a cubic meter of water ways 1 tonne. That's s hell of s lot of weight being thrown at those windows. However, the tiniest of taps with a hammer and they shatter like, well........glass I suppose?
Bigwavemaster1 That's probably true. Still, I think they must use some very high quality plexiglass when making "bulletproof glass". I am at least willing to bet that they don't use regular glass for windows such as these. I don't think normal glass could handle the high winds, in addition to the water spray from large waves. By the way, Thanks for posting this awesome video!
Our windows are certainly not normal glass. They are quarter inch toughened safety glass. The same as you would get in a car only much thicker. Thanks of the comments. I make a film every trip showing the crew in their daily lives. I'm at sea now and shall be uploading the next in a couple of weeks. Hope you've subscribed? ;)
