Safety at sea did i do the right thing?

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?

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.
