I guess a 91-foot wave would make diving out of the question

Christian- Although it would be a rough entry, I'd be stupid enough to try it. Of course I wouldn't take my video camera!

I'm not sure what the distance is from crest to trough, but I would imagine that you would violate the ascent rate of 30 feet per minute or even the old ascent rate of 60 feet per minute. :11:

Now, Christian, you know me well enough not to take me seriously! No one else does.

True! I knew you weren't serious, but I was in the mood to use that smilie and you offered a great opportunity.

See... I did it again!

They used to say that ships crews were just making it up or seriously overestimating the height of waves in storms. Now they are saying that these huge waves are not even really rogue but are fairly common in storms.

DUH

I think wave scientists should all go sail in the southern ocean for a few months and then tell me how much I was making up the stories of big waves.
