Mother Nature can be pretty awesome at times. Seeing how much the ocean can make a 1000’ carrier move will show you of how tiny you really are in the big scheme of things. Swells west of Perth, in the north Pacific and north Atlantic can make the ship’s screws come out of the water. If you’re berthed up forward or aft you can get some “air time” or get pressed down in your rack as the bow falls and then digs into the next wave. Yee Haa!
