A 100-foot wave hits a ship in the North Sea, during an intense storm. Had the ship been much smaller it could have been catastrophic, but the ship managed to withstand the blow.

I guess you might as well just laugh about it. Nowhere to run anyway.
Thanks for to post.

At least that was a North Sea STORM wave - - of much more concern and danger are those rogue waves that seem to come out of nowhere, even on CALM seas...

I used to own a 30ft Catalina sloop and did quite a bit of sailing. Never hit a rogue wave or encountered anybody that did. I always kept an eye on the weather and, even so, had to pass through a squall or two!
