do you know the sea and boats?

I'm trying to write something that has a necessary scene which is outside my experience. I've been on a sailboat once or twice, and of course little row boats and canoes, but I've got to write a scene that takes place on a Norwegian research vessel in a storm.

Hmm. Maybe I could watch some movie clips? Any thing come to mind? In the mean time, I'm reading about bioprospecting, or the collection end of it.

Edit: I just sent a letter to a scientist at the University of Tromsø – The Arctic University of Norway. We'll see if she answers!

The equipment's going to be different, but I think there are some Discovery Channel reality show pieces about fishing vessels that includes storm stuff.

Yeah, I was thinking about that; fishing up by Alaska. I've got a friend who really likes that show. *digs around* Oh, yeah, Deadliest Catch. *heads to youtube*
