Did you hear the same thing or was there another clue?
I'm not that familiar with when they would turn to it - but I can't imagine that the lens could keep up with those seas. It was all about timing.
You can tell it's MOVLAS on the PBS videos by the ladder on the PLAT footage with the little tick mark moving up and down. Where the tick is correlates with what paddles is showing him on the lens. When you see a dude crossing the ramp and the ball goes full high, paddles is trying to get them to ease way back on the power into the wire because the deck is made and they're trying to get them aboard. Vice versa the dude may be on glide slope but because the deck is moving they may move the ball low to get him to add power.
Day MOVLAS on flat water, good times. Night MOVLAS because you have too, I'd rather stay below decks.
Consider the TV version a bargain. I lost about a year and a half to the live show.
That's funny right thar.
