A sailor´s Gale

A sailor´s gale is Force 7 on the Beaufort scale. That means we're occationally seeing 30 to 35 knots on our dial. "Babette" is tipping, lunging and bouncing. This life in a roller-coaster keeps activities down to an absolute minimum. Boiling tea water and visiting "the head" are major feats. Even lying in bed without rolling out can be an achievement. One lee-cloth grammet popped and sent Ørnulf flying.
But we're not alone out here. (Only looks that way!) We listen to the Norwegian Net and "Herb and Sedna"on the short-wave reciever.

Better weather ahead.
