This Guy’s Trip On A Ferry Went Not How He Expected, And Now His Epic Photos Are Going Viral

ADVERTISEMENT

If you’re prone to seasickness then look out, because these pictures will make even those with iron stomachs feel nauseous.

They look like they were taken in the middle of one of the world’s great oceans, but believe it or not they were actually taken aboard the Manly passenger ferry that operates out of Sydney Harbour, Australia. Although the sea there is generally quite calm, recent windy weather whipped up the unexpectedly ferocious waves that you can see below. They were snapped by deckhand and photographer Haig Gilchrist, who uploaded them to his Instagram account along with the comment “great day to be working.” We’re not so sure about that!

    Except for the first one (and it seems like a wave made by the ferry), the rest looks ok

    1 + 2 can be described as breathtaking for me. Maybe the others for people with astma.

    It's a lot scarier when you think it's a wave coming AT the boat but then you realize it's a wave being caused BY the boat.
