According to the local press "The Perfect Storm" is currently passing. Yes, they actually used that headline. The wind has been blowing like a mad man for more than 2 days now, occasionally I check the windinstrument and I have seen as much as 22 m/s inside the marina but at times it's been lots more than that. Some guys from a round-the-world-alone-in-a-boat race came in just before the storm - others were caught out there. I think it's crazy in the protected marina. I don't even want to think about what it is like out there!

Safe journey, sailors.
