Safety at sea did i do the right thing?

Kapitan · 07-08-06, 09:04 AM

Playing virtual sailor again this time taking the command of a ferry called superfast XII now then.

If this was a real situation how would you respond?

I am traveling out of port 14 knots then i speed up to full power to which is 30.6 knots you then run into bad weather what do you do ?

This is what i did, imediatly cut my speed from 30 knots to just over 14 knots turned on all the ships lights and put the bow into the on coming waves. (bear in mind this is a roro ferry).

would you have done the same or something slightly diffrent ?

What would I do if I were on a ferry called "Superfast!" with Kapitain on the helm?

I aint that bad *takes swig from bottle of vodka* realy i aint

1, i would be wondering if 4fps is any good.

2, i would want to see a weather report, if you have 30 knots to play with and are only catching the edge of a front could jiggidy the course a little to miss the worse.

Kapitan · 07-08-06, 12:56 PM

winds 33 knots from 230 waves 13 feet visibility down to just over 500 meters. course of the ship 097

Kapitan · 07-08-06, 12:57 PM

Oh and my FPS rate goes right down when i take a screen shot normaly hanging in around 13 to 15 FPS

If the boat is still floatin' in the upright position with the lights on, you did ok.

Kapitan · 07-08-06, 02:14 PM

Still afloat no damage made port ok, but should i have slowed down ? or kept her at 30 knots or should i have gone a tad faster ?

U-104 · 07-08-06, 02:40 PM

you did good.

STEED · 07-08-06, 03:34 PM

Kap, I don't care if you sent it to the bottom of the sea or crashed it. :p

Yea, I am messing with you mind.

Have another drink and chill.

STEED · 07-08-06, 03:43 PM

PS. Make it two drinks.

Kapitan · 07-08-06, 03:49 PM
