Gales Ahead !

Our present position is 150 nautical miles West of Lisboa and the weather forecast for the next days is not so good. The first day I left my short trousers in the drawer as well! We're definitively in the race for some rough weather. Therefore we've taken all the precautions we possibly could, just to tackle some future problems in advance. On the picture you can see the bosun applying plenty grease on the stern roller. The red protection sleeve of our tow wire is made of steel and moving steel on steel needs grease. Furthermore we checked all loose items in the ship, closed all watertight doors to the main deck and are waiting for the first squalls now.
