I'm thinking being out of touch with today's f@#ked up society is a good thing.

We crossed the equator which made us "Royal Shellbacks". We were in high seas that tossed the ship like Hollywood can't depict. At one time during muster standing at attention, we were flat palmed on the floor standing straight up. Waves over 30 feet would broadside her and the ship would shudder and wag. .

I'm a card carrying Shellback... And I got the scars to prove it LOL!

And affirmative on the reall deal of 30-40 foot swells pitching the ship such that I could stand up straight and touch the deck in front of me... We took serious flooding during that one (Up near the Aluetians)

Man you guys are killing me.

Best I've done is an 80 ft crew boat in the Gulf Of Mexico.

I had to set out on a huge tool chest on the deck so I could see the waves just to keep from throwing up my toenails.


I told the boat captain.
I'll take the helicopter next time, thanks.

As a laborer in a demolition team, we stayed in a condo in Gulf shores Alabama. There is a scene in the movie Forest Gump. I recognized the view to be the same. The scene is where the Mother of Forest's friend was now wealthy and was no longer the servant but being served. Gulf Shores, Alabama. Beautiful, but I wouldn't live there. Hurricanes

Stop eating toenails before getting on board.
