[StartQuote] C.J., I can only imagine being tossed around on a 78 foot boat. The closest I ever came to this was when we went fishing one time out of Gloucester, Mass. The skipper has warned us of a storm we would be running into, but the 25 of us on there that day thought we were old salts of the sea. Those waves started tossing us around, and everyone on board was sick except for my Father In Law, who served on the USS RANGER during WWII. I think I was every shade of green there was, and had puked so much, I begged the Skipper to let me jump in the Ocean. I would guess the waves were maybe 5 or 6 feet, but I will never forget it. I spoke with several guys who served with Ron 27, and they had hit a hurricane in the Philippines. They spoke about tying each other to the 40mm gun, so no one would be washed overboard. In Sea's that high, it must have been hell................... [EndQuote]
