    Boarding a moving cargo vessel - GIF

    Boarding a moving cargo vessel.



    And you can just type those registration numbers into a search engine to get details on the boat. In this case, it's the Swedish vessel TAVASTLAND.

    Hate to think if he missed the boat in the middle of nowhere...speaking of that, How did he get there and where did the other guy go on a sled with no dogs in sight?

    oh joy, I remember working at sea on days like this.
    Judging by the sea state i would argue that the wind speed was very close to exceeding the limits of using the helicopter.
