i hate to say much but i was in the navy and passed Tiera Del Fuego ( sp-sorry ) and saw gale 15 force winds with seas higher than a 10 story building-this video ( i did enjoy it ) seems mild to what i saw/experienced, in fcat i did also go through Hurricane Fredrick in Sept of '79 on the USS Lexington-
while my wife and little girl ( now 29, and just went through Ike ) huddled ashore w/a neighbor family...the drake passage can change from calm to a force 15 gale in just a few hours-!

Good video, I would be keen to hear what the sea state was, look about a 6.
The tops of those swells were not all whitewater.
I spent some time in the navy and have experienced bigger where the swell tops were breaking, that was some scary sailing.
Someone asked how do you keep the food down?
You get used to it, but sometimes even the most hardened just succumb to the urge to drive the stainless steel bus hahahahha!.
I sure do miss it.
Cheers

Either they have strong stomachs or they're used to it. Things like this don't tend to make my stomach upset. Just depends on the person I suppose.

Serious question- how do people keep from constantly throwing up and getting sick in this kind of weather. Two days of this- I would have thrown up everything on my stomach and then some. These waters are absolutely brutal. So what's the trick to keeping food down?

Drakes pass is so dangerous...almost certain death to the old wooden ships. Only the old shipping lane that the Titanic used is more dangerous (cause of iceburgs). |
