Bummer, I already hate flying and now giant waves! I guess I'll have to walk everywhere.

Walking causes ass cancer.

Did anyone wave back?

I was about 2 miles off shore of an island in a 21 foot Boston Whaler. Due to a storm miles away, we had swells that measured 20-30 feet crest to trough. The wind was blowing the usual 24 knots and it was sunny. A wave came through that was nearly twice the height of the others and with a blowing whitecap. The Whaler was a light boat and rode over the wave, but we got wet and damned near dirty, if you know what I mean. I wasn’t much of a sailor at the time and didn’t think twice about it, other than thinking it was a freaky wave. It stood out from the others. I can imagine rogue waves that can sink a ship.

"Did anyone wave back?"

After the onster wved I think the satellite wiggled back but it was too small for the monster to see.

The Titanic was big enough to ride three waves and thus was relatively stable in pitch on the open ocean. A rogue wave, though, would be single and if it came from the side might roll the ship severely, maybe beyond the point of stability.

How could a ship sink a monster. I don't get it.

[patton]

You have big brass ones. I would have moved - to Montana.

[shellshocked]

Well, I do live in Denver, now.

[patton]

How odd - I was in Denver this afternoon. Then I was in texas, and now I am in New Mexico.

[Vicki]

No cruises for me!

[Bald Eagle777]

Nope, it's "Nessie" !

[doug from upland]

I might change my mind about that cruise.
