Rogue wave flips trimaran in the Pacific - Rose Noelle 1989

My father Captain Ian Cook was supposed to be on that voyage but withdrew after feeling very uncomfortable about the voyage. He had done many blue water voyages in yachts, ships and delivering fishing boats across the globe.

Thank you as always for another great video. I had never heard this story before, and it's a banger. Can't wait for the next one. ...I got spoiled when I first discovered your channel because I had dozens of stories to choose from. Now... I must wait. Still, I can't thank you enough for all the recent uploads. I know how time-consuming creating new content can be. Thanks again!

Really glad I stumbled apon this channel a few weeks ago. These fascinating stories of history and survival are so compelling. Thanks Epigwaitt History!!

What an incredible story! I think you guy’s are really good storytellers. Cheers from the USA 🇺🇸

What an amazing story of survival! Thank you for sharing.

A similar thing happened to a former coworker sailing down the coast of California from San Francisco to San Diego. I do not know the hull type. The couple had made the same trip several times previously without incident. But the last trip an unseen rogue wave rolled the boat. My coworker, the husband, never saw what happened to his wife and her body was never recovered. I believe that he floated in the sea for 3 days before being rescued.

Finally, youtube sends me a fantastic vid....Thanks, what a story. Could have watched for hours more.

Ive read the books written by three of them with their own personal take on the adventure , the way the media and authorities cast so much doubt on their epic survival and was swallowed by so much of the public was a travesty of national shame ..

Epigwaitt History, Your videos always brighten my day, so I subscribed!

love listening to to this on a sunday night while trucking up the road… was always a sunday ritual with a few truckies when it was on the radio

I remember this pretty well, amazing story.

Good story as always. Thanks for all the hard work you all do making these.

In 1989 the epirb functioned as a radiobeacon and the system used triangulation, i dont think satellites were part of the system before GPS was widely available. Modern epirbs transmit to satellites digitally with the coordinates it obtains from the GPS constellation. Despite the name not changing, the way it functions and the design completely changed. An '80s epirb was like a weird looking portable VHF, now its almost rudimentary yet tied to the GPS its far more functional. It says im in distress at this exact location, not I'm in distress somewhere in that direction...

What a story! Thanks for another excellent video!

My Dad Ian Cook was living on his yacht in Picton harbour.

Awesome channel live the stories have been obsessed since finding it.

Love the videos, keep it up. From NZ

When the still clip that advertises the video came up in my feed only about 2 hours after it was posted I thought it might be La Vagabond 2.

Shoutout to First Avenue club in Minneapolis. Great venue!

Really enjoyed the movie about this "Abandoned"
