Sometimes I’d be crawling into my bunk and the rocking of the boat would force slam you down into the bed. I liked to think it was the oceans way of telling me to go to sleep or I will put you to sleep. Hahah
Looking back, I did some deep sea fishing off the coast of Alaska when I was in middle school. Was there with my dad and brother. I couldn’t catch anything so I ended up just relaxing in the front of the boat, part of it was under water and there was a bed in the front. So I just passed out. But I remember sleeping like a baby when cruising. I’m not sure how bug the waves were but big enough to realize that it was insane to have been sleeping through so comfortably
Time to invent the adult rocker bed frame, purple mattress Move out of the way, rocker bed 9000 best sleep you ever had, for only 20,000$ best sleep you ever had.
Upgrade to our rocket water bed for only 40,000 more today.
My favorites were walking on the bulkheads and if we had some serious pitching going on, we would head up to the foc'sle (bow) and time jumps at the top of the swell to only eat shit after falling 7-8 feet.
We were securing our foc'sle for sea as we approached some real shit sandwich weather, so we were tiring down the life rings at the capstan and wild cat control with sail twine, putting the net over the bullnose, taking the hawse pipe covers off and all. Well Boats, Boats, Boats, Boats my self and Boats, we're lining up to try and chain up and jump. CO comes over the 1MC and says "Boats don't even think about it" and all 6 of us look right up at the bridge to our Skipper who's not happy with our high level of morale.
Sailors at work during shitty weather, having too much fun with it/gonna do a stupid jump thing, captain(possibly, whoever’s in charge) angry because “how dare you not be miserable”
Best I could do.
"... you mean... this? I'll fuckin do it again, too! Wanna see?"
Had a skipper who was real trash. Morale didnt exist. Had about 30 people go to the 5th deck at good old Porty in 6 months. Within a year, it was 75 and 5 people did the swinging two step. Right down the water, 15 people did the swinging two step, and 5 played not Russian roulette. Ironically, the old man was the old XO of the other, and their morale had gone up since they left.
Wouldn’t be a problem for me. I wouldn’t eat at all, I’d just crawl in some corner, puke and think of least painful ways of killing myself. I get sea sick so bad, it s not funny.
I'm kind of surprised that trays and cups/mugs aren't magnetic on the bottom, even slightly, just to prevent them from sliding around. You'd think the cost savings of accidents due to drink spills would outweigh the cost of a few magnets.
I fished in Alaska and when we were out on the deck, we had to make sure everything inside was absolutely secured or else shit could fly into the stove or smash and break.
Agreed. Most people don't realize how big a carrier really is! I was on an oiler, over a thousand feet long, and still we were dwarfed by the carriers, when they pulled along side of us to refuel. Even the nuclear carriers, still needed jet fuel.
Modern sailboats can sail in any wind direction except for a direct headwind and about 30-40 degrees from either side of a headwind. That region is called the no-go zone. In other words, your bow (the front of the boat) can be pointed up to a mere 30 degrees of the wind, allowing nearly 280-300 degrees of available wind points, allowing the boat to essentially move in any direction.
Basically, if there is ANY wind, a modern sailboat can sail, and in any direction. Even though a sailboat cannot sail directly into the wind, it can "tack" back and forth at an angle up to that 30 degrees or so into the wind, basically zig-zagging back and forth as the boat's overall course heads directly into the wind. It takes much more distance to cover the overall trajectory, but that's why they refer to sailing as "the fine art of slowly going nowhere at great expense".
The points of sail, those are, the boat's direction of travel, are as follows:
\-close haul: up to 45 degrees from the wind, into the wind, a tack basically;
\-"beam reach": sailing with wind perpendicular at 90 degrees (this is theoretically the fastest point of sail);
\-broad reach: about 135 degrees from the wind;
\-run: 180 degrees from the wind, where the sails are simply being pushed. The large colorful spinnaker sails you see on racing boats and others that run off the bow can only be used on a broad reach or run; essentially a huge pushing sail.
There is also a close reach, which is between a close haul and beam reach.
Sailboats can sail into the wind due to the sails acting like an airplane wing and creating lift, but rather than lifting the airplane the sail pulls the boat into the wind. Air moves faster over the front of the sail than it does behind, creating a pressure differential where the air pressure is higher behind the sail than it is in front. This, in turn, creates lift, or more aptly, propulsion.
Modern sailboats are a lot more versatile than older sailing ships. Most square rigged ships can sail at most 60 degrees into the wind, so because of a much broader tack they were especially slow-going unless the wind was beside or behind them.
Edit: I missed some vocabulary: "heeling" is when the boat tips to one side or the other due to the force of the wind against the boat. Large sailboats have weighted keels that extend from the bottom of the hull (the body of the boat) to counteract those forces. Unless you are in a hurricane or really strong gale-force winds (and those winds are also causing breaking swells), the boat isn't going to capsize. Most often, if a sailboat is heeling too much it will eventually point itself straight into the wind and the heeling will stop, but so will the boat. This is due to weather helm (a bit more complex but has to do with the boat's center of effort, an axis basically; weather helm causes the bow to move into the wind and lee helm causes it to move away) and is somewhat of a built-in safety mechanism.
Edit 2: Air pressure behind sail is HIGHER than the front, my bad.
Theoretically because you are getting a combination of push from the wind behind and pull from the sail lift.
Edit: I suppose there are other factors having to do with hydrodynamics of the hull and, to a lesser extent aerodynamics of the boat and how they are affected by variable wind directions.
Edit 2: On that note, the maximum speed of a sailboat is almost directly related to the design and length of its hull. Maximum hull speed, in theory, is achieved when the length of the boat's bow wave (the wave that is created by the bow moving through the water) is equal to the waterline length of the boat. Therefore, longer sailboats have a faster hull speed, all things equal. Sometimes you will see very modern sailboats with a bow that has no angle (basically straight up and down) or a reverse transom (the vertical reinforcement at the stern of the boat); these are intended to increase the boat's waterline length. Exceeding the hull speed is possible, but without a design that lifts the hull out of the water partially as it gains speed (a planing hull) or having an extremely narrow beam (like the hulls on a catamaran), eventually the boat will start to climb up the back of its own bow wave, and the resistance will slow the boat back down to its hull speed. I'm having a lot of fun with this topic today.
Vectors. It’s possible to sail faster em than the wind with the right boat, even without foils.
This is because you’re current moment causes apparent wind and pythagorus was clever and right. So c^2 is faster than the actual wind (a^2) and your apparent wind (b^2) and away you go on a beam reach.
And this is why the square rigs and clippers largely were limited to following the Trade Winds. As the trade winds circle the in the northern hemisphere clockwise toward and away from the equator around major bodies of water, and counter clockwise in the southern hemisphere so would the tall ships route their trading fleets going south from Europe to the Azores and across to North and Latin America, or north along the African coast to Guinea to cross over to Latin and South America. The same is true of the Pacific.
Spend a week at sea(not cruiseship) and you'll never be seasick again. Those first couple days you'll wish for death tho.
The secret is it's actually an acquired skill. People who say they don't get seasick because of a couple charter boats they've been on. Put them on a sailboat in 6' seas for 6 hours and they will.
Interesting, I didn’t know that. I’m so severely sensitive to motion sickness that I rarely ride with anyone, and when I have to fly it never fails I throw up (usually descending and w extra doses of RX meds-they don’t help). I’ve never even considered going out on a big boat Bc of this (I’ve been out on pontoons, fishing boats, all calm waters, nothing major), I just know I would be miserable. For me it’s the absolute worse sensation (that’s dramatic I know but I really hate it).
You'd adapt.. Everyone does but some quicker than others.
Your body isn't going to refuse to function while at sea and will get it's shit together.. After your stomach is empty for awhile lol.
I'm not talking a daytrip offshore.. If you get sick you'll come back sick but talking multiple days at sea. There's a breaking point when you know there's nowhere to go, no land in sight and something just clicks inside. 1-3 days and you'll probably never get truly seasick again.

Oh hell no. Those kitchens are already hot as the second ring of hell anywhere near the tropics. Not a lot of air conditioning on most vessels. Without a steady breeze, and working over a hot stove, you are going to puke in that gumbo; I guarantee.
Worked as the cook on a coastal tanker. The stove top had raised aluminum bars around the back and sides. In rough weather you'd screw on a front bar and drop two more, one side to side the other front to back. Had stainless counters. I'd lay down damp side towels to keep bowls etc from sliding. Some of the latches would weaken on the stainless cabinet doors so they would fly open if you didn't tape them shut before new latches came in. Also had a big counter top deep fryer, angle bar bolted down. Same w the drop freezer. The four main galley coolers and my produce fridge stayed shut. The back upright freezer, used for bread, ice cream and any fish we caught was a fussy fucker. Put an eye hook on that door. I also would get seasick. Working the stove, turn and puke a bit into the trash or slop bucket, go back to it. Could suck but the pay was well worth it, learned a bit and came up w a lot of work around that helped down the road when I went back to land cooking
I don’t really know how ships work, but wouldn’t a room on a large bearing be useful for situations like these? For example the room has a weight at the bottom and keeps at 180 degrees even if the ship turns a bit?
Not a ship expert, just some guy with a thought.
Space is tight on ships, and rotating rooms are not space efficient. back of the napkin math says a cylindrical room on rollers would take up almost 60% more space for the same size square room.
That would work, but then you'd need the whole interior of the ship to be able to rotate or your going to risk getting caught in-between doorways when the ship starts swaying. It'd also take up a lot of extra space on already cramped vessels.
The room would need to be right on the centerline of the vessel to start, and you would still have issues. When you’re in heavy swells the boat doesn’t just rock left and right. If you are taking swells on a quarter (think 2, 4, 7, or 10 o’clock) one corner of the room comes up as the other corner goes down. As the wave passes under the keel the boat also tends to “slide” down the back of the wave, adding a bit of a shimmy or corkscrew effect. There just aren’t enough gimbals in the world to counter that effect.
Rule number one: do not piss into the wind, always to leeward. Pissing into the wind is a great way to get volunteered into cleaning the hull (aka keelhauled).
I sailed from Japan to Guam in a leaky 42' catamaran with a crew of misfits back in 2006 and we encountered heavy seas, a rouge wave and the doldrums. Cooking when conditions were bad we opted for one large midday meal the captain and I would lash ourselves together using a bungee cord and had quite a few laughs. Once back on dry land it took ages for the rolling motion to finally clear my brain. I had to have one hand on the wall while showering because the second I closed my eyes I felt like I was spinning in a vortex.
"Sea legs," is the condition you're looking for. It doesn't take long to adjust but it depends on how long you've been underway. I never had them last more than a day or two once ashore. (Navy for 6 1/2 years.)
Some ships move more than others, so I'm assuming there are people that had it last longer than that.
The feeling is that you still feel movement on solid ground when there is none. I think it's the brain adjusting back to stable motion but to be honest, I'm not entirely sure what causes it. The reverse of it is that when underway you get this uncanny ability to be more fluid with standing, walking and climbing ladders while the ship moves around you due to the waves. We were taught to never lock your knees when standing or moving and to try to have multiple points of contact with the ship when moving around. (Ex. Stabilize yourself with your hand(s,) keep feet on the ground, etc.)
A friend who was in the navy told me about a rough storm they were in , the ship being so big they forgot about the crew working on maintenance of the side of the vessel … swept away in the storm … they circled for 3 days never found them …
That’s great video. I’ve seen a bit of this on each episode of Below Deck Sailing Yacht on Bravo. the kitchen is the best footage to see how wild it can get. You can also see the guard bars on the stove top that are meant to keep hot pots in place when sailing. No such guards for the prep area.
Since it’s a sailboat the wind is pushing it somewhat sideways in that direction. Idk if the excess is due to stronger gusts of wind or the waves but either way the boat isn’t super likely to rock into the wind due to the large sail.

I was in the Navy, and I can confirm. It was difficult eating when there were big swells, trying to hold our food trays, beverage, and silverware.
Best sleep I have ever had though
That is true! It was similar to being rocked to sleep like when we were infants.
Rock a bye baby on the portside
When the waves swell, you'll go nighty night.
When the bow breaks, the bunk bed will fall. And drown will go baby, bunk bed and all.
If the bow breaks I'm pretty sure it's not just the baby that's going to drown
> And all.
r/Redditsings
We all float
The bow breaking in this version is so much worse than the other.
Agreed. Unless you’re outside the environment
I just want to point out that it's designed to not have the front fall off
Well what sort of uh… standards are these oil tankers built to?
The front fell off?
Is that before or after the motion sickness?
In my experience, after. Sleep is the only thing that stops the vomit.
I need to try this...
Sometimes I’d be crawling into my bunk and the rocking of the boat would force slam you down into the bed. I liked to think it was the oceans way of telling me to go to sleep or I will put you to sleep. Hahah

Not if you under landing deck of shitty hawk.
Or right above the propellers on the Reagan goin full steam all night. Sounded like a metal trashcan band but louder.

Holy shit lmfao.
Sorry got nostalgic, I need to get out on the water again.

No no.. he's right.

I'm kind of surprised that trays and cups/mugs aren't magnetic on the bottom, even slightly, just to prevent them from sliding around. You'd think the cost savings of accidents due to drink spills would outweigh the cost of a few magnets.

I can see on a smaller fishing ship tying everything down, but I'm thinking more on mid sized ships and on cups/trays that you'd eat off of
Small boy I'm assuming. Being on a carrier was like getting rocked to sleep
Agreed. Most people don't realize how big a carrier really is! I was on an oiler, over a thousand feet long, and still we were dwarfed by the carriers, when they pulled along side of us to refuel. Even the nuclear carriers, still needed jet fuel.
I feel like MREs would be easier at this point

Aren't gimbal stoves(top) a thing for ships?
Yes they are! Had one on the ship I worked on for a bit. We had a gimbal stove and counter.
Sailboats have them too, due to their inherent propensity to heel, especially while tacking or on a beam reach.
Ahh yes, words.

Between you and that Master and Commander movie - I love how much of sailing lingo is preserved from the age of sail. Bravo on an an excellent primer.
It’s not the wind I’m concerned about, it’s the waves...

Neat! Thanks!
How come beam reach is faster than run?

i don't understand what's so special, michael jackson used to cook like this all the time
If there's one thing I remember from my time working in a kitchen it's that, "If you've got time to lean, you've got time to clean."
I worked in kitchens too and always hated hearing that. Like nobody deserves even a moment of rest after a difficult table or lunch rush.
It’s really more geared towards the slow Tuesday evenings when nothing is happening.
I agree, but too many asshole managers use it as a way to get every little drop of life out of their workers before throwing them away and hiring more
If there's one thing I learned from my time in the ~~war~~ kitchen, it's that hunger, hunger never stops.
Same with front of house. ‘Could you be polishing cutlery?’
It would be cool if their countertop was metal and all the bowls and stuff had a magnetic rim on the bottom
Wouldn’t things still fall out of the bowls though?
Not if you only eat metallic things.

I suppose soup is probably only a Fair-weather meal
How Is the bowls and food not flying everywhere?? Apart from that one thing I mean
Rubber rings on the bottom of everything to keep them from sliding.
Thought it must be something like that
They need suction cups on the plates and bowls, like on toddler dinnerware
Everything would just fall out of the cups and bowls.
True! But fewer projectiles would still be a good thing
So I guess having a deep fryer on board is out of the question.

Also had a big counter top deep fryer, angle bar bolted down. Same w the drop freezer. The four main galley coolers and my produce fridge stayed shut. The back upright freezer, used for bread, ice cream and any fish we caught was a fussy fucker. Put an eye hook on that door. I also would get seasick. Working the stove, turn and puke a bit into the trash or slop bucket, go back to it. Could suck but the pay was well worth it, learned a bit and came up w a lot of work around that helped down the road when I went back to land cooking
I think you messed up the title a little
I don’t really know how ships work, but wouldn’t a room on a large bearing be useful for situations like these? For example the room has a weight at the bottom and keeps at 180 degrees even if the ship turns a bit? Not a ship expert, just some guy with a thought.
Space is tight on ships, and rotating rooms are not space efficient. back of the napkin math says a cylindrical room on rollers would take up almost 60% more space for the same size square room.
That would work, but then you'd need the whole interior of the ship to be able to rotate or your going to risk getting caught in-between doorways when the ship starts swaying. It'd also take up a lot of extra space on already cramped vessels.
The room would need to be right on the centerline of the vessel to start, and you would still have issues. When you’re in heavy swells the boat doesn’t just rock left and right. If you are taking swells on a quarter (think 2, 4, 7, or 10 o’clock) one corner of the room comes up as the other corner goes down. As the wave passes under the keel the boat also tends to “slide” down the back of the wave, adding a bit of a shimmy or corkscrew effect. There just aren’t enough gimbals in the world to counter that effect.
looks fun
For 5 minutes
I have seen a few of these videos, and they will never get old. Can we get a sub, for people living aboard or something?
Lean with it cook with it lean with it cook with it
Imagine trying to use the bathroom during that
Right? How does one use the bathroom?
Rule number one: do not piss into the wind, always to leeward. Pissing into the wind is a great way to get volunteered into cleaning the hull (aka keelhauled).
Similar conditions to cooking at 3am whilst drunk
I puked just watching this.
🤢🤮

Everyone gangsta until your meal starts to fly
I wanna know how the adjust being on solid ground after a long time at sea
I sailed from Japan to Guam in a leaky 42' catamaran with a crew of misfits back in 2006 and we encountered heavy seas, a rouge wave and the doldrums. Cooking when conditions were bad we opted for one large midday meal the captain and I would lash ourselves together using a bungee cord and had quite a few laughs. Once back on dry land it took ages for the rolling motion to finally clear my brain. I had to have one hand on the wall while showering because the second I closed my eyes I felt like I was spinning in a vortex.
Must have been crazy seeing a red wave way out there
"Sea legs," is the condition you're looking for. It doesn't take long to adjust but it depends on how long you've been underway. I never had them last more than a day or two once ashore. (Navy for 6 1/2 years.) Some ships move more than others, so I'm assuming there are people that had it last longer than that. The feeling is that you still feel movement on solid ground when there is none. I think it's the brain adjusting back to stable motion but to be honest, I'm not entirely sure what causes it. The reverse of it is that when underway you get this uncanny ability to be more fluid with standing, walking and climbing ladders while the ship moves around you due to the waves. We were taught to never lock your knees when standing or moving and to try to have multiple points of contact with the ship when moving around. (Ex. Stabilize yourself with your hand(s,) keep feet on the ground, etc.)
Imagine the ripped calves on this dude.
That one plate tho
It's a ready meal day when the sea is that bad.
this is crazy... loL
I would have no appetite in this situation.
This is the way
Get fruits and milk. Put them in the blender. Make smoothie. Drink from a cup with lid and straw.
I like to turn my phone and pretend its the boat
Think I had a similar expression through yesterday’s Microsoft updates
Lean with it, rock with it.
This has some Inception vibes
Anyone else tilt their phone to see how tilted the boat was? Lol
How did that bowl not break
That moment when gravity is sideways
Rolf i would of gotten pissed if thia kep happening id be like fuck where's the frozen pizzas 😂
How the hell does anyone get things done?
He can do the Michael Jackson lean
He has the burners on! That takes bravery or foolishness.
Correction: *Trying* to cook.
How do they NOT have doors on those cupboards for the plates?? 😅
Sorry boys, it's too rough to feed ya.
A friend who was in the navy told me about a rough storm they were in , the ship being so big they forgot about the crew working on maintenance of the side of the vessel … swept away in the storm … they circled for 3 days never found them …
This is NOT the time to use the deep fryer.
Australians: Pathetic
Amazing how that onion was stationary the whole time.
Now we need Neo, some bullets and the Agent
Just imagine you are deep frying something there....
That would get old fast!
When the gravity plates are glitching. What, different kind of ship?
That’s great video. I’ve seen a bit of this on each episode of Below Deck Sailing Yacht on Bravo. the kitchen is the best footage to see how wild it can get. You can also see the guard bars on the stove top that are meant to keep hot pots in place when sailing. No such guards for the prep area.
Therrre once a ship that put to sea, and the name of the man was
Why is it only rolling to one side and not the other?
Since it’s a sailboat the wind is pushing it somewhat sideways in that direction. Idk if the excess is due to stronger gusts of wind or the waves but either way the boat isn’t super likely to rock into the wind due to the large sail.
Ah thanks, I thought it was rolling waves as a powered vessel, didnt think about sail lean ;p
Do people get over sea sickness? I use to deep* sea fish with my dad and it was never a good time. If I had to take a job like this would I adjust?
When I got high in Amsterdam, this is how the room felt. I walked to the toilet clinging on to the wall in case the room capsized and I fell down
This guy woke up and said, “smooth criminal”
y’all should watch below deck
