That’s because the family has no sea expertise nor engineering reports about how strong the ship in in which conditions.

Sounds more like an adventure to me.

It’s not an adventure until something goes wrong.

Two inches of water in your cabin is not an adventure.

“That’s because the family has no sea experience nor engineering reports about how strong the ship.....”

Made me smile. I remember being in a storm in the middle of our Pacific crossing when the chief mate came to me and reported the main deck beam was cracked and grinding:)

“That’s because the family has no sea expertise nor engineering reports about how strong the ship in in which conditions.”

This Captain should lose his license for two reasons:

1. His ship was taking on water, and had a pronounced list to starboard.
2. Putting the passengers at unnecessary risk of injury due to pitch and roll AND unsecured missiles.

And these were only 30ft seas.

I contend this after twice encountering 50+ft seas in the Navy.

Anyone want to argue it?

I think it would be pretty cool getting hit by a storm like that. Better than endless foraging at the buffet.

Used to work fishing boats in AK and the storms were awesome.
