Standing up straight in the North Atlantic taking a big roll in rough seas

Wow, now that's motion. My oldest is a 10 year Navy man, and he can probably relate to that for sure.

How about the photographer of that pic, how was he standing?

We set up a dart board in the isle by the Krypto room. When you got good at shooting the darts there in the heavy seas you were unbeatable on the dry land. We then went to Edinburgh and Portsmouth and defeated a bunch of limeys in darts and they really hated that. I guess that he was standing sufficient as to be able to take the picture

I wasn't allowed to throw darts onboard My dart team monitored my activities VERY closely. There was a specific drink/food/time pattern that I was required to follow .

We spent a fair amount of time playing in the N. Atlantic on the carrier. You know the sea's are rough when you can take a few steps on the bulkheads of a carrier as you walk up & down the passageways. Went through a hurricane, had waves hitting about a third of the way back on the flight deck. I just hung my hammock and rode it out in our shop .

I live in Alaska. Once in a while, we can do that on dry land.

I wonder if this is where "planking" started.
