Seas?, Waves? I was there and, at that point in the trip, it was a good 3-5 waves, bigger later on, smaller and a lot shorter earlier. I did not think it was extremely close together, but it sure wasn't a long period swell. Remember, the boat is only going about 14 knots.
I think Pelican has seen some better videos than I have. Videos down here never give a realistic view of the actual conditions, Photos either. Two cases in point, (1) when that video was taken the ocean was one big white cap, wind was really picking up. See any whitecaps in the video? (2) a couple of years ago at the east coast gathering, Blue Heron and I went offshore and our passengers took a bunch of pics, shown on this forum. The forecast was 4-6 ft seas. By my measure, it was a confused but honest (4-6 ft waves), maybe a bit more. The pics don't look even close to that.
