Just a little thing; what's 'Beam on'?

A right angle to the keel of a ship.

Flying in that weather must have been .. er interesting!

I think I'd rather fly in it, than sail in it :sicky:.

Odd.. the next thing I thought of was that I didn't want to abandon ship with no clobber on!! There are limits!!

Strange how the mind works when finding yourself in a near emergency isn't it Dave.

Only once been aboard on a ferry across the English Channel in very rough conditions at night, on this particular crossing the bows frequently came down hard on another wave coming up to meet it!!........The whole ship juddered as it impacted on the crest, Can imagine how those passengers must have felt.

Hmmm. Reminds me of the ship (SS Rangatira) that took my colleagues and I to the Falklands in '82. The stabilizers had packed up just after leaving Southampton, as did the Osmosis system for the water. Later on in the voyage, the rudders became inoperative: I'm so glad they didn't tell us they had to pick their way through a minefield just off Stanley the night before we docked in the harbour!
