    Re: hold on....tight!

    Somewhere in the recesses of time, a ship sank with loss of life somewhere of the coast of the great US of A during a major storm. Post accident investigation found huge holes in the way the US Coasties were being operated. A couple of big waves and they were unable to render assistance in time of crisis. Some judge made some comments and issued some ruling resulting in a complete overhaul of the US Coasties.

    One of the changes was the addition of these types of boats that can act like submarines, and then you have to learn how to operate that thing in heavy surf.

    The nutcases operating the boats are all strapped in whilst standing using suspension harnesses. Doesnt matter which way she rolls, you are apparently still able to operate the wheel....

    The glass on that thing must be a couple of inches thick in order to take that kind of punishment repeatedly. It goes beyond me what happens to the oil in the engine when that boat is inverted.... Hats of boys, and may I never have to call on your

          Wow, not sure if that was the best thing I have ever seen, or the greatest act of stupidity I've ever seen, they were obviously TRYING to roll these boats, very impressed with the way they came back up.

              How do they breath while waiting for the boat to come back sunny side up?????
              Give a man a fish, and he'll eat for a day. But ,flogging him into submission will result in him taking up crabbing.... and once he gets a taste of that sh*t, well, he may never return again.

                  That's one helluva water test. The captain - maybe a surfer in a previous life.
