Wow scary stuff there mate, glad that no one seriously injured.
11/10 on the sphinctometer mate good to hear your ok.
Jaxt, glad to hear you are all doin Ok! Just one thought it might be good if you try for another trip with young, and don't leave it too long or a bad experience is all the brain will store about ferries!
That footage should have been sold to one of the News channels as it was the most dramatic I've seen about the incident.
Tim
yeh thanks guys..
i tried contacting the channels but not interested and they just said send it in...(i did with one and it bounced back) it's probably old news now. plus with their T&C's it said if you send it in it's royalty free or something to that effect.
and yeh no one was too injured.
I'm suprised they wern't super keen for the video because it was very good footage you took.Quote:

where did you see this bigrig?
I didn't see any logs. definitely a freak wave.
my guess/theory is they are now trying to limit the -ve stories that might have a bearing on tourists coming here (or not).
part of new campaign on 'nothing beats qld'
Didn't see it, but Ryan and his family came over last night to sort some things on the rigs, and when I mentioned it to them, they said they had heard it on the news and that was what the report stated.Quote:

how`s the camera after the SALT soaking ???????
nikon d5000 faired well all dried and clean now ...i thought a bit of glass would have chipped the lens but not the case.
yeh he eventually went 3/4 throttle as he conceded... over the radio to all passengers.
