Whacking down the North Sea - apparent wind of 40 knots (it got higher - near 50!).

I took this when taking part in the Round Britian and Ireland Challenge yacht race as part of team Samsung.

This clip gets going about 34 seconds in!!

:-)

Awesome - I love the sea like this, although it is a bit scary!

    This is just amazing, Ken. I may have been in worse weather, but it would have been on a much more level boat. Wonderful clip. The crib board must have been sliding all over the table, how on earth do you peg?

    Dave - I had it in a waterproof housing!
    It's designed for diving. And was just perfect (and vital) for the job!!
