I love watching stuff like this - any one else got anything similar!?

how swamped would a 5.5 metre rib be in this sea state?!? someone on here must have have been out in a vile sea like this

All I went a bit flip flop, didn't it.
Judging by how hard he was trying to get it back you'd think they were going to dock it out of his pay!

I know, it's beyond pant-filling. I reckon those waves towards the end must be 80-100ft high.

Nah - it was a Vipermax. I'd go through that just on the aux, no bother

Aye bigmuzz ,no cats and jcb,s in those days ,LOL, it was crow bars ,hammers, chisels and a rope around your waist ,,,and a pork dripping sandwich in your pocket .
John smeaton of Leeds designed some of the better ones the 3rd Eddystone lighthouse for one, he was also the inventer and pioneer of hydrolic lime concreate and the father civil engineering as we know it today .
some of the hardest millstone grit stone for building lighthouses at that time also came from leeds ,,Grace darlings light house ,longstone at the farnes was just one of them ,

Ignore the crap music some moron's added to this clip, but these days were fun




The Flandre was a wonderful ship to work on, an enduring memory is the fantastic chef tied to his counter in a F8 whilst busily opening scallops with a knife... remarkable. The skipper is the only person I know who can stand on the bridge in such conditions without a single piece of ash falling off the ever present cigarette

Newer ship (Abeille Bourbon) is much more stable, but covers the same patch on call. That footage isn't over remarkable for a Breton winter by the way.

Holy sh*t .. they must have been feeling brave that day .. you'd have to wonder how much a boat could handle getting slammed like that

If you look carfully you should be able to see my fins as I dive. My RIB is moored up behind the lighthouse

If anyone's interested, the footage on youtube (which someone's nicked) is from a film Chasseurs de Tempetes about the work of the Abeille Flandre, which is the French guard ship for the Mer d'Iroise based out of Brest (or was until replaced).

http://www.vodeo.tv/documentaire/chasseurs-de-tempetes

It's all in French, but that doesn't take away from the footage. (use the Achat Illimite option to donwload it).

The clip shown is responding to a disabled tanker not too far from the coast, hence the foot to the floor speed.

Pablo, I'll PM you.
