Good night world from a lonely sea

Sun is just about to go down here outside of the coast of Dominica. One more hour before the light is gone from this part of the world and we will continue our evening in darkness on a pretty windy sea tonight. Had some squalls coming in earlier that brought gusts up to 45 knots and heavy rain for an hour or so. Glad it's over for now. Let's hope the squalls stays away from us during the remaining part of the night, too much of a mess to have to deal with gale forces in darkness. Hoping to see the coast of Martinique clearly when the sun gets up tomorrow morning again.

It is true that the squeaky wheel gets the oil - and that the memorables ones are usually the ones that yell the loudest -- but your photos and stories of travel are appreciated. As someone who is disabled and cannot sail any longer, I love your posts.

Cheers,

Have You done man overboard rehearsals together ?; July 28, 2011 at 12:52 AM

Anonymous said...: I'm curious about sailing since I have not ever sailed. But it looks so nice and peaceful to do so, but at the same time I wonder in order to move the boat you must have wind, and wind can be annoying if you are sitting outside trying to relax e.g. on a beach.

How is it to sail like so? Like in this fantastic picture, is to a strong wind and you will stand on the deck to watch the sun go down with your hair blowing everywhere? Or is it because the sail of the yacht boats are so large, it is simple gentle breeze and it moves you along without disturbing your peace?

Can you please advise this puzzling point for us non sailors.

Thanks.; July 28, 2011 at 5:02 PM

Daniel said...: Brukar surfa in på dina blogg då och då. När du fotograferar och komponerar dina foton antar jag att du har många automatiserade kunskaper som bara går av farten. Jag tror att dessa tre är viktiga att tänka på, ät det något du tänker på och hur skulle du förklara dessa tre viktiga byggstenar i en bild. Komposition, Kontrast och Ärlighet.???
