In the 1980s we had a crossing just after Xmas in a severe gale,... ...I travelled on a day boat from Hoek to the Harwich a few weeks after the Zeebrugge disaster in the most enormous gale. It took two tugs and a replaced tow rope just to get the boat undocked. At sea it was really horrific. Small coasters that we passed were almost submerging. We arrived 7 hours late. I once travelled from Esbjerg to Newcastle in a severe gale. It took three tugs to get the ship off the dock and I woke at least once in the night by coming into sudden contact with the bunk above. Then when we got off the ship the land felt like it was moving! -- Phil Cook |
