Decks awash
for a couple of days we went through high seas up to 40 ft. and strong winds up to 9 bf.
I haven't seen this sight myself, but I can ensure you life becomes difficult even in much lower waves. This should be the time, when nobody was allowed anymore to go outside without safety harness. For about 2 days no woman were called on deck, as only pure physical power was required.
