Hey all,

Does anyone else think it is out of place for the frequent heavy seas? I am currently in the US Navy and have been stationed in Yokosuka for the past seven years ( I love it here, unfortunatly they are making head back to the states later this year).

During that time my years at sea have been spent all over the Asiatic region, from Japan to India to Austarlia. One thing I have noticed is that unless thier is an infrequent storm the seas from the Phillipines West to the end of the Indonesian islands are smooth as butter.

It just seems odd to have 15ft seas in these areas more frequently than good weather. Maybe the weather model has not changed from the North Atlantic? Just my personal observation.
