Looks like a fishing boat not a tanker. Probably in AK.

What got me was the boat that the guy was filming on. Was pretty damn close to this boat.

Considering the guy filming it didn't seem to be tossed around by the waves, I'm thinking he was on land.

Anyone know why that boat was so close to shore? I thought it was usually safer to ride out storms like that away from the coast.

Looks fun. Provided if my safety was guaranteed and had a large supply of Bonine for seasickness. I found out I get seasick the hard way. Was on a dive boat one day and the swells were 3-4 feet high. The constant rocking made me sick. I had breakfast twice that day, once going down, twice comming up =X

I've been on an aircraft carrier in seas like this. The ship doesn't really pitch and roll as much, but you can look in compartments along the hull and see I beams buckled. I've been on a fast frigate too, and the puke factor was off the scale. It's funny how used to it you get though, I was the master with a deck buffer in high seas, lol. It's an art form.

It's an Edison Chouest ship...
Southern Ocean? (I'm guessing from the grey water).
Perhaps the southern tip of Chile?

Enzoblue, I know what you mean. It's pretty impressive to see water come over the bow of an aircraft carrier.

I love this video because there is an odd kind of quiet beauty to the whole thing. It is ironic considering how unhappy the people on that boat must have been. We're so detached from the horror that must be going on.

1. That's got to be the most serious post ever on the sift.
2. I'm gonna assume it's fishermen, and thus i imagine they were sat around drinking, smoking, laughing, farting, belching and comparing tattoos whilst claiming they had been on rougher see-saw rides than this minor swell. Then something about swell/swelling and crotches.

The guy filming it might be using a tele-lens.

Crabbing boat? based on the crane on deck

My vote is its around Cape Horn, and filmed from a much larger ship traveling parallel and keeping on a eye on this boat in case there are problems.

Or, as we here in Seattle like to call weather like this, "Summer".

It's like that one time I filmed a plastic grocery bag playing in a breeze. It was so... beautiful.

Looks like "The Deadliest Catch", shrimp or crab boat definitely. Traps on back. Storm like that probably turns up a lot of sediment that close to land, could be anywhere.

Lots of cameras have steady-features, plus he could have been on a larger ship or just have REALLY good balance.
