> Hi Pete and all,
Hello Back to you Warren, and Rodge and everyone reading...
I like the title, with a few changes it would mean
"shut up".

I too like the idea of a wall of birds leaving ...mmm
400ft hight too ... but then when Rodge posted it,
the 400ft wave was 3-400ft, so depending on the ocean
floor at some locations, some will be really getting
it.

Same can be said for the mouth of the Columbia River
where river and ocean meet to make some impressive waves.

According to Barry VKAAB, he has heard of one like Rodge's
report for the Pacific Ocean. Hmmm... Calfornia threatened
with slipping into the ocean now has help....before or after.
For some reason I can see you being pulled over by a cop
on his board for no lights, and other infactions of that
state's laws...<g>
Japanese Rubber Monsters...aah yes, the fallout of the bomb.
I like the Adventure Show from the 1960s, because they dealt
with the story of that volcanoe that caused the whole Island
to explode and disappear....Krachato or something. I guess
the ocean floor was shallow, but from the ship's log was
the account of the wave coming that the ship survived...
by heading into it...and just hanging on.

Yes open sea. The last big one, was reported going passed
a container ship as a 10ft swell of the normal seas, but
Roque waves. remind me of a saying...watch for the seventh
wave. Meaning multiply factions and joining and whatever
will produce a roque wave.
The Cruise Ship you mentioned was damaged due to many
reasons. One of which is the ship is computer controlled
and even in the engine room. Staff get on... start up
motors and all then they leave the ship. If there
had been a proper bridge watch, and crew...they would have
seen the wave, and altered course to ride through it
which the computer didn't see...radar or no radar.
Two decks were damaged, and the water just went through
those glass windows and doors...swamping the ship.
They were very lucky.
Just saving the costs of a proper crew... And as well
no respect for the sea, and the power.

It amazes me, when I see ships damaged by the sea...davits
tron from decks, and it all looks like gun damage. Also
is that even the most exprienced crew and mater can be lost
the modern ship...and menwhile in the area a replica of a
ship from the 1600s...rides it all out.
OK... gotta run new messages...
