Anything help with that info on the straights out here?  I checked again.  No 
special stuff.  Could be size of ship?

I transit that damn thing all the time.  Best I can recall is the water is 
sometimes rough but it's a storm ridden area too at the time we normally cross 
it.

Whe you get farther away from land, normally the 'chop' (waves) are so 'long' 
(wide) that you just get these swells which those of us used to sea, barely 
notice other than they rock you to sleep.

Sorry, brain fart at the moment on the name of the spot other than that trail 
through Indonesia just below China.  It's either before or after Singapore and 
always related to Singapore for our travel.  It's where the huge volcano 
erupted that caused the 'year with no summer' and impacted even as far as all 
western Europe though the starvation in Asia was far worse.
