BDTD times 2. Got hit by a rogue wave in the middle of the atlantic. It pitched me across the skid plating in the engine room. I wrapped my arm around a stanchion and caught my buddy as he was sliding past.

The minute it happened, we had the casualty clearing crew out. Out of a crew of 200, one guy blew his knee out, a cook got burned with grease, one guy cut the tip of his thumb off because he was holing onto a door frame and the door swung shut and countless sprains and bruises.

I love my job.

After taking several cruises and having good luck on all of them, I cannot even imagine what that might be like....it certainly might change my views on cruising all together.

On one of the dive trips I worked on, the captain didn't pay attention and we got hit broadsided big time: we ended up counting the guests and cleaning up 3 dozen eggs and rice from the galley floor. Luckily all guest were on board - wet but all there - we just lost a lot of of plates and cups....
