You can see the waves crashing on the ship, and the man trying to paint the ship. You can also see the man swinging in the wind, unable to paint the ship. What is wrong with this picture?

This video was taken on board a Russian vessel crossing the Drake Passage between Ushuaia (Argentina) and the Antarctic Peninsula. The Drake Passage is known as the roughest sea on earth with severe storms almost at any times and extremely huge waves. We were hit by a storm sailing north that lasted two days with 14 meter waves. You know the seas are rough when the berth curtains open and close by themselves with the pitch of the sea.
This video was taken on an Alaskan cruise. The normally calm swimming pool turns into a strong wave pool, as passengers go from floating in the pool, to jumping waves.
