rajncajn Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 No power they are screwed. If a ship has power they can turn into the waves, but without they will end up getting sideways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiegie Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 It's going to be a rocky ride of course, but the fact that there are 22 people on board helps.uh, how exactly does that help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joessfl Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 uh, how exactly does that help? If you read Maritime guidelines for personnel on board a seafaring vessel, "A vessel must have at least 21 people on board in fair weather conditions, 23 if less than fair weather conditions, and throughout CAT 1-5 conditions, 22 must be present to thwart the God Poseidon" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It all makes sense now. Sorry for my earlier post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double Agent Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 For those that don't know...it takes 21 bodies to anchor down a 584 foot boat. The captain should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
