Nobody on the vessel seemed to be too concerned at the time. If you are regularly fishing the Kings, 30 knots and 2 to 5 metre swells are par for the course. The issue really seems to be the decision to round North Cape, not use the anchorages on the other side and then get too close to the cape on the way round giving the building seas a chance to break instead of sliiping under the boat. Two to five nautical miles further off the cape on the way round and we probably wouldn't have anything to talk about. Be interesting to see the TV doco, but I am cautious about the sensationalisation of those who haven't walked in those shoes and even may have an axe to grind. Even a commercial guy whose job is to pull pots close to the islands doesn't have the same set of circumstances to make a decision about working that day vs the passage back. |
