@davidships: THANK YOU!! That's what I was trying to figure out... why were they rolling around so easily?? Jeeezzz... maybe I need to re-take my driving test, if I can't remember the hand brake (and I drive a stick shift, so I *always* use it!!)
@SteKrueBe: yeah, I was thinking of demolition derbies all the time that I watched the video!
Thanks for the photo link... It looks like she typically carries containers; maybe the Master didn't really know what to do with automobiles??
I have to admit, that *was* an impressive-looking sea there...
Would any of you veteran seafarers care to make a guess on Beaufort scale? I'm guessing it was pretty high... I was a sailor in the 1970's, but I was on a U.S. Navy ship, we didn't learn about topics such as wind estimating...
