one day. As a norseman I have to keep it up. Nothing for the landlubbers though.

Beautiful! You've really caught a good impression of the wind and also the work that goes into harnessing its power. Do you have the Tall Ships Race in your part of the world, Norseman?

Thank you Rob, yes we do and there are times we pop by Scotland too or vice versa I gather
There was as you can see, blue skies but windy. Not enough to get seasick, which I have not been since 1967. Back then I was seasick for three days and the waves went up to 20 meters high off the coast of Panama. If any had tried to put me overboard, I do not think I would have objected, in the state I was then.

Poor you. But you recovered. I just read a biography of Darwin, and he was sick for over five years on the Beagle. He never found his sea legs.
I went to see the tall ships when they arrived at Leith, Edinburgh's sea port. A fine day that was too. Magnificent boats. I didn't have a camera in those days, though...

Lovely stuff, Ivar. As Rob says, you have caught the impression of the wind in the sails perfectly here and I really like the angle - mind I guess you'd soon have problems if you stepped back too far!
