Pat Riot Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 (edited) That is a great photo. I wish I had a photo of my ship in heavy seas. There were a number of times we were in nasty waters, especially an area we called the VACAPES (Virginia Capes - pronounced vay-capes) Also in the Atlantic trying to get through or past tropical storms and hurricanes. EDIT: We never went through a hurricane. Edited February 11 by Pat Riot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
