    Pretty standard North Sea weather. When it gets rough the ships hit the bottom in the troughs between waves.

    I did a channel crossing one Easter in that sort of weather
    All those so called footy club toughies heaving their guts out in the dunnies - had to **** over the leeward rail to avoid the stench :eek:
    Fair dinkum ruined a mans drinkin time
    Perhaps it is better to be irresponsible and right, than to be responsible and wrong.

    If it was taken by an Aussie, stupidity is a better word than courage.

    I'm not sure there is as much courage as it may appear. The boat looks like an offshore standby vessel rather than a fishing boat - based on the advanced telecoms tower and the bright colour. From the angle of the photo it could have been taken from the relative safety of an offshore oil platform. Not sure though.
