That's how you do it folks.

Oh Lord! I wouldn't want to even think about being out in those conditions.

Wow...and not one crewmember hangin' over the side.

 

[Warren Milberg]

Talk about a 'white knuckle' ride....!

 

[Rick D]

...and a lot of luck! Don't think that was at all wise. but I wasn't there.

What happened the first time they tried it?

Looked all cool and salty I'll give them that but I can'thelp wondering how it liiked the first time they tried it. Prehaps in calmer seas.
Clearly a peaking event.

Was it worth the risk? I guess you just had to be there....right?

And, you would most certainly have to really know your boat!!

Up in the North Sea they probably went out when it was like that. Just a nice daysail.

AGREEDED !

But then, they are still Vikings, aren't they !

 

[Paul Mermelstein]

Holy moley!!!!

 

[LooseDiamond]

I would have been more impressed if they had sailed it into the slip, ha! Just kidding...

 

[dscribner]

I wonder if the bank was watching!

A boat running the 'inlet' to West End, Bahamas, during 'surprise' gale conditions .... no they are not 'mountains' on the horizon in the first pic. but abut 25+ footers that normally occur when the wind is slightlly above 'moderate' and is blowing 'counter' to the direction of the Gulfstream ... and the 'stream' is quite weak on the "Bahama side" when close to that shore. The boat lost control several times but did eventually manage to thread its way into ~ 75 ft. wide 'entrance'. And yes, they did change their linen after they tied up. .... and this was 'mild' before the waves 'really built up'.
