Sailing the stormy afternoon winds :

a view from Grabov Rat

Some sailors in the Hvarski Kanal (the sea channel between the islands of Brač and Hvar), in an approaching storm, were a long way from being in control. One on the photo below was in lot of trouble but managed to stay afloat: he put the sail down and engaged the auxiliary engine.

At the same time, in the same conditions, one sail went bye like nothing matters. I ran for the binoculars to identify the ship’s flag: it was Norwegian; they should be - they are - the best.
