The Calm after the Storm..
On Thursday we got caught in an unexpected 'no prior warning' FORCE 8 storm with 35 knots gusts of wind, spent 8 fun hours having fun as a family sailing with the yacht mainly upright on one of its sides.. tacking and gybing.. For about fifteen minutes though when the STORM hit the hardest I had concerns as getting back became treacherous and the ship to shore radio was in constant use.. but it blew away the tears and the cobwebs of losing Polly and my amazing Son got us back to shore safely as Helm along with Hubby and me doing crew duties controlling the Ocean winches, Main Sails and Gyb and sharing Helm to give Luke duty relief.. we then came back into land to be greeted by a beautiful Sunset and calm sea
