Few days ago I returned back from a very special trip for me. I have spent about 6 days with some people on a yacht for the first time in my life. Every member of the crew was for the first time on a yacht in fact. Of course except for our captain, who put the crew together.
We were not exactly good friends, but that was not so important. Despite not being the best crew in the world I had a lot of fun and I guess all the others as well. As everybody kept saying there would be no such trip with the same weird crew again. So it seems that the trip was quite unique.
After about 2 days of almost no wind a storm came to make things little bit more interesting. We were eager (or at least I was) to try something exciting. We stayed in the middle of the lake when all others were packing their stuff and going to shore. So we made some prep and after short discussion with captain like ...
Crew: Why we raise our sail when others put them down?
Captain: They are chickens.
Crew: Why are we the only ship on the lake?
Captain: Because others are chickens.
... we started to enjoy the storm.
I kept recording as long as my camera was working. Unfortunately the rain was to heavy and my Sony alerted me with "MemoryStick Error" and few seconds later it stopped working totally. I took out the battery and passed it with the camera to a very brave crew member hiding himself in under deck.
I was afraid that the storm ended my Sony's short digital life. Fortunately when I turned it about a day later, it was working. So I'm able to show everyone a little taste of the beginning of the storm. Although the most interesting things happened after the recording, it should show you that sailing can be quite exciting from time to time.
