Thread: Cook Strait Ferry

The straights between Norway and Denmark gets a bit choppy,but the cats seem to handle that well.

The North Sea is a bit rough and the ferries that ply the coast from Stavanger up to inside the Arctic circle always seem to run ok.

Maybe New Zealand has the wrong kind of water between the two Islands?

Short period, steep face with the odd big bastard chucked in. Worse than the south aussie bight and thats a bad bit of ocean... Where the cats are good are is the open ocean swell and not where it's fully exposed to the currents and cross chop and swell - current flow against chop and swell isnt like the North Sea. Don't get me wrong the North Sea isn't flash but its got different characteristics to whats here.
