Rogue Waves

A morbid interest I grant you - but the concept of a "rogue wave" have kept me of a Cruise Liner for years (well that is my excuse...........) - but now there is some interesting research that looks at how these Rogue Waves are formed:-

Suffered a rogue wave on a Thompson cruise in the Caribbean once.

Threw us all out of bed at 3 in the morning .

Never again..

So did I. Thought maybe it was Beemer drivers or those of a similar shape.

I've always wanted to on a proper cruise.. the only ones have done were on a grey ship.. and believe me I have seen some waves lol.. normally when we were pulling the flight deck nets back up..

I was on the Thomsons Emerald and thought it was a big ship until we docked in Puerto Rico and saw the American cruise ships

.

Our ship looked like a trawler next to them.
