    Amazing how big some of those waves are! Sometimes they come out of nowhere.

    Which is exactly why it took so long to get anyone to believe they existed. Hard to accept that in a sea of 30' waves, a 90' foot wave could just "suddenly" appear.....until that picture above..that changed everything....

    The section where the wave is breaking before it gets to the boat is amazing. How much freeboard do you think that ship has?

    Almost as big as some wake-board boats rollers.

    It's not a large ship. That's obvious. And you can hear the crew's butt's pucker as they go almost straight up the side of the wave....the balancing act going across the top of the wave should have broken the back of the ship and sent it to the bottom. They realize that they dodged a bullet I think...you can hear after they get back to open water....it's as amazing a video as it is terrifying....

    A guy I know down here works on a 80' supply ship out in the Gulf that delivers stuff to the oil rigs, he goes out for three week tours, he tells me you wouldn't believe the chit that comes up out in the open sea and it's just the Gulf, he says it's tons worse in the Atlantic, not me, I freak out when there, 3-5 fters, I'll stay on dry land.

    Rogue Wave?? Not too sure. Gigantic wave? Oh yeah. This is what a 40, yes 40 degree roll looks like on a container ship...surprised they did not lose it all over the side...amazing footage...take a look...
