What do you think, adjust the trim a bit and we could float right over the top? Ha ha....I would want to be in the cockpit wearing my drysuit and a helmet in these seas....

I am amazed at the stability of the films. Either gyro stabilized or on a solid platform?
These are impressive seas in any boat. I have only been in similar seas going down wind--not many boat which would survive bucking into these type of seas!

when i was a much younger lad, i found myself aboard a small mike boat, leaving shore, during a typhoon, 25' to 30' seas, heading for the mother ship, which had anchored out several miles, off the coast of malta. had a radio, sleeping bag, and back pack, all strapped to my back. still remember the height and depth of the waves. this film reminded me of that experience.
