As I mentioned I would, I (*finally!*) had my internet connection hooked up today. As part of my new found internet freedom I've, as was suggested by someone on this forum, created a new Webshots photo site. I've just finished the first gallery of my new and more refined webshots site as a teaser for what's to come; you can visit my new site here: community.webshots.com/user/IndyInsane

Awesome photos Grahame. I have seen the SOBC too at Tsawwassen trying to dock in high winds. That is crazy in high winds. I cant believe how high the tide was that day. Would be a interesting sailing to be on.

Actually, I guess this was my fault by not clarifying, but my name is Graham EA Johnson; The EA is for my two grandfathers, Woody (Elwood) and Arnold.

They are very nice indeed. Especially the stormy ones. Those seas aren't actually as big as they seem though...maybe three or four meters. But they have reached over nine in the Strait, so this is no record. When you have pictures of waves hitting the passenger deck and mist coming over the bridge, then we will see....

Oh yes as a side note...those are swells, something that build up throughout the ocean. The average swell depth off the West Coast in the summer is about two meters. What you see on the Spirit of British Columbia is not swells....

Fortunately I've barely seen such seas, we would never take the boat out if anything near that was forecast... but now I live for sh*t like that! <well, not literally >

Nice pictures Graham. I enjoyed them...especially the one of the North in drydock. It looks big.

Ya, although according to that site that's in a different language, she is not quite as deep as the "C" Class ferries. I guess there is one last thing to say. Ferries from Europe are smaller than they appear.
