By the way Toprx ... the rougher it got at sea the more I like it. I remember once standing between the poles of the bow jack staff and having them scream at me from the bridge to get off the bow.
I did ... and went straight to the forward look out which was one level higher than the bridge. At the bow I got the most up and down action and at forward look out you got the most port to starboard motion being higher up than the bridge. They heard me on the sound powered telephone and scrammed me off there as well.
The night we had the rain going sideways was eerie since the sea was completely calm. Other days had the sun shining bright with clear skies and the sea with 20 foot crest. You sea all kinds of weather out there but it was always fun..
