…unless you are mentally strong with a good balance and solid mind.
While reading this book, you will ask yourself if you read the current news or a historical novel between 1933 and 2015. It is very hard to differentiate as most of the story lines are simply happening right now, again, very sad. Literally speaking, a partly repeat of our history. In 2022 we are basically set back to 1933. No doubt, a brilliant book of contemporary literature, present and unfortunately prevailing.
A nice shot taken by Bjarne Tveitan during the chaotic moments we had. I wanted to say “Thank you“ to all the help and sympathy received to prevent the worse to happen.
With further help and advice from good fellow friends and sailors we are now preparing to get the lady into a nearby beauty farm to repair the cosmetic scratches suffered from this nasty incident. All going well we shall be able to show up in any beauty contest again from May onwards.
Overall we were extremely fortunate that things did not turn out worse.
The storm was forecasted 25kts up to 40kts in gusts. The wind picked up from 8am onwards and I had multiple lines out in all directions – more than usual. What does it help, if the outriggers on the pontoon break off and the whole boat swings around breaking a second outrigger off until we stop alongside the pontoon. A nasty situation with the outriggers scratching the hull… My emergency call to the marina office was responded and help with many fellow boaters around organised. Thank you! I will now assess the damage and revise the plan again. Fair winds…still puzzled.
