    Windy still.

    The Skipper manager is upset, he has a group in open revolt. He’s


    tried pleading, bribery and threats. And still all his yachts are in
    harbour. We’re having difficulties with upset crews.

    Forecast was wrong it’s still dangerous, immediately outside the


    harbour is storm force 8, the crews went on a drinking spree last
    night until 4 am and are in no way ready for what lays in wait. The
    boats are equipped for good-weather day sailing, I don’t even have
    enough life jackets for everyone on board.
