Late start, we had been working till early in the morning. And although we were a bit groggy, we were glad that we had made the decision to work at night and enjoy the sun during the day, because the weather had changed immensely overnight. The wind was howling and it was raining a tantrum. Thunder and lightning illuminated the dark skies.
While we were peering out through the curtains to watch nature at work, we saw other boats who despite the bad weather, had decided to move on. It all didn’t go too well. Most of them had trouble leaving their berths because of the strong winds. We watched them struggle for a while, wondering why you would choose to sail in these conditions. Maybe if you only have a few days vacation and you need to get home again you might choose to leave, but since we are not in a hurry we closed the curtains again and enjoyed our tea.
