Just saw the video of rough weather:

This from the gcaptain.com website.
As a former cook on a small 600 ton vessel, we never see a video of the poor bloody cook hanging on and still trying to put together a feed for the crew. We all have stories of bad weather but has anyone tried to video the galley when we try to bash out a good feed for the crew that are well enough to eat?
I used to tell them that as as my feet started to leave the deck as the ship pitched off a wave, you get frozen pies and pasties heated up or make your own sandwich.
It was like trying to stand and work on a roller coaster that is cork screwing.
All accommodation is forward. I could never work out why they put my rough triangle shape galley up forward (behind the anchor chain bulkhead) and yet the better spot would be where the heads (toilets) are to give a bit better ride. The heads are 10 metres aft of the galley and about the same size in area.
Sometimes they should make the marine architect take the ride in bad weather.
That my whinge for the day!
