Wild Winter Days

December 4, 2007 on 10:44 pm | In Uncategorized |

I am sat in the office listening to the wind howling round the house, I am just off the phone to Murray from SeaTrek and we were planning the powerboat training we have to do over the next couple of months. Lucky Murray is off to Antarctica to drive boats for six weeks !

There was a bizarre moment when we were talking about this weeks work and Murray commented ‘and the wind is easing to 28 knots so we will be able to go out’. 28 knots is a force seven! Described in the Beaufort Scale as a near gale. It is interesting how your perception of things becomes warped depending on what you become used to.
