Have you been in rough 8 foot seas in the North Atlantic?
The sea that night was dead calm.
Define "dead calm".

An 8 foot sea swell is calmer than a 25 footer.

g I'm not an expert. I'm a landlubber.

Much calmer than when I went on my cruise to Nassau and half the ship
was sick.

I'll admit I'm going on what little I know about the incident but maybe
"very calm" would be more accurate.
