I do know what fun I am missing! Check out these videos from BBC. Although both of the waves shown here are re-creations, they were from actual events.

Here is real footage of an actual rogue wave striking and flipping a ship filming for The Deadliest Catch series. Notice how the rogue wave takes a different direction than all the other waves, striking the boat from the side.

Well, I don’t suggest cruising in the North Atlantic or Bering Sea.
