My 2 Grandsons are on their way back from seeing their Dad on the Isle of Lewis today ........Hope their Ferry Crossing's nothing like this one.
It's pretty Wet, Wild and Windy up this way today as it is.

Re: Yikes

Hmmmmm Roxy darlin' - a might choppy, but then Ferry wasn't that big 10 - 15,000 tons I would guess. However, when you get ships 10 times that size doing similar things in hurricane force winds, then you have permission to worry

Have you not noticed Nero matey, a lot of sailors are bandy-legged from tightening their sphinter nerve to prevent having to 'go' in weather like that. BTW - not called Toilet aboard ships - referred to as 'heads'.
