Asta B was coming in to Grindavik for a quick stop before going to Norway. Was a bit rough sea. There are reefs on each side of her.

My brother worked at Trident processing plant in Sand Point Alaska. I went to stay with him when I got out of high school and I was thinking about getting work in the fishing industry. The weather would get insane. I remember watching these boats racing out of the harbor into these massive storms. The boats seemed so small compared to the waves. I remember one night just hearing the wind howling outside and thinking “there are men out on the ocean actually working during these conditions”. Brave people.

Fun fact from an old retired Navy CWO4. One of the major causes of wrecks in this kind of sea is that the fuel tanks are sloshed around so much the sediment that forms in all diesel tanks gets agitated and floats in suspension in the tanks. It gets fed to the filters, clogs them, and the engines die of fuel starvation. That vessel would not have had a chance in hell if her engines had stopped.

I've worked outside of Grindavik. The road along the ocean has several boat wrecks that had washed ashore that serve as monuments to less fortunate crews. There is a statue in the middle of town that depicts a mother and children waiting for their father to return from the sea. I had the best soup ever in a little cafe called The Brim. The soup was the best because I spent the better part of the day working outside battling rain, ice, and snow.

I was serving on a WW-II submarine off the coast of Oregon with waves that were 100’ plus from the bottom of a swell to the top. We had the advantage of being able to plough through them, but that meant that ever few seconds we were under water when on the bridge. It was like going through an “emerald wall” the we could see coming. We would duck behind the gun shield and the water would totally surround us and then recede. We chose however, to remain on the bridge because it was better than being below where most of the crew were sick. 🤢

The waves are so big that they completely block view of the boat (which is already pretty sizable itself) whenever it goes down the troughs! And yet it still makes it to safe harbor. The power of the ocean and the blood of fishermen never cease to amaze me.

Things look scary, because you don't have the same amount of control as you do in calmer conditions. However, it's not the waves or chop that sink you instantly; your boat can swamp, partially submerge, or roll completely over. It is those freaking foamy areas that concern me most. There is nothing to support the mass of your vessel in foam. Sometimes, especially in certain areas of the Northeast Atlantic Ocean, that foam gets up to 100' thick according to scientists and fishing vessel operators alike. That would be like dropping your boat off a ten story building to crash on a sidewalk or city street!
