ROCKING: internal CCTV footage of a cruise ship caught in heavy seas. Nice soundtrack, pass the sickbag

does laughing (inadvertently) at this make me a horrible person?

So sick

Big Props to the bar steward his honours the best traditions of the service by resisting the ship's roll - alas, he too finally succumbs 50 seconds in.

Absolute class

I hope not

This reminds me of a trip on the Swansea - Cork Ferry once.

Really big seas, the ship was rolling all over the place. That was a 9 hour crossing that I thought would never end.

It was nowhere near as bad as this though, no furnature going all over the place.

Yikes!

Been there done that too, but likewise this is off the scale compared to what I experienced.

I recommend the Sharm el Sheikh to Hurghada hydrofoil for fans of marine vomiting - once you get into the Gulf of Suez then the toilets are not a place that a timid person wants to be anywhere near.

Aran Islands...

I did this one and I hoped it'd never end! My ride was even rougher...

Me hearts the sea.

IZ.

... I love it at sea ... pass the sickbag on, and give me a nice English breakfast ... ...

I'm really good at sea too, I was the only one who didn't puke on the Channel crossing I mentioned earlier.

Favourite memory though is the Nile cruise I did a coupla years ago. We'd sat down for a few beers, and the ship pulled out shortly after. It was veeery smooth so you didn't actually physically feel anything, but everyone's sense of balance and orientation suddenly went all funny.

Cue lots of odd looks into beer glasses and folks wondering "what's in this stuff?"

... ... unfortunately, the only few times I spent at sea were channel crossings ... faaar too short for my taste ... ...

Alas, next year in March, my parents want to take me with them on holiday for a few days cruise ... oh, I'm looking forward to this ... ...

that's 13+ posts on a Blaast! topic, it shoulda been binned way back

i can understand doing a spot of knitting during a particularly dull demonstration to pass the time, but i'm still struggling with the 'use of knitting for political ends' bit. does sticking a knitting needle in your opponent's throat count? i call upon any knittivists present to kindly enlighten me, as i am very interested in joining the ranks. for the love of the tank cosy, if for nothing else:
