    The document provides a weather report and status update from the sailing vessel Emma. It notes the date, time, location, weather conditions including sunny skies, 34 knot winds and 2 meter waves. It then describes making an unplanned stop at Frog Island for lunch after a night interrupted by loud Germans, where two crew members ignored instructions and injured themselves by jumping into the water near the anchored boat's chains, resulting in a dislocated shoulder and toe. The crew has gone ashore on the transport-lacking island to find medical assistance.

    BUGGER

    So, after a fairly nice dinner and a night interrupted by German


    dickheads we made an early morning dash for Hydra, only for the
    flotilla leaders to change that to frog island for lunch.

    As we enter the anchorage at frog island two guys decide to go for a


    premature swim. Despite instructions to wait for the boat to settle
    and jump off the back, they both hit the anchor chains.

    Result 1 dislocated shoulder (Swedish boat) 1dislocated toe (my boat).


    Hydra it is then. Currently awaiting crew who have headed off to find
    medical assistance on an island famous for its complete lack of
    transport.
