Wild weather In Bass Straight!
Submitted by southcity104 on Fri, 2012-06-08 08:59
This was sent to a mate of mine.
In Bass Straight (I was told)
"we had 14m seas with 80+ knots on sunday
the ' wave pic' is underneath Marlin-A (the rig on the far right of the first pic) its not a 14m meter wave but sorta gives an idea.
there is a whole deck under water covered by the wave
Crazy to watch it go from relatively flat to psycho in just a couple of hours - mother nature is one powerful beast!!"

Memories
Brings back memories of when we brought a trawler over from NZ, though wind only got to around 50 knots but swell up to between 14 and 18 metres. Not a trip I'd recommend to do .

I'm meant to be heading down
I'm meant to be heading down to the Nan Hai in a few weeks hope things settle before then. They look like jack up rigs so a bit more stable than a jack-up rig.

Sorry too many red wines.
Sorry too many red wines. Meant to say more stable than a semi submersable.
