Yikes. Bad day to be in the North Atlantic. 62' waves (which means 124' ride down the back of it)? No thanks.

SN Greg Wright Wow! I was in the North Atlantic only once on a Nuke Cruiser, it was rough but not that rough. And on that same ship we rode out hurricane Gloria with 50 foot waves and let me tell you, there were some scary times. I too will pass on this!

And I see it is expected to weaken significantly in the next 24 hours,but the shipping in the area might not last 24 hours with wind and seas that high!
