Sailing things right

Today Bonifacio strait area is a quite a windy space again. Gusts up to 40kn.

Friend of mine, who's a captain of the 78ft luxury motor-yacht en-route, sent me a video showing what does it look like from the helm right now.

Helm post floor is 5 meters above the water, the shot was taken from about 6.5m. So splashes literally reach the third floor. You may imagine the waves there.

I'm really glad I'm not in the sea. :)
