It feels great to be back in calm waters. Despite the seasickness and the exhaustion I have to admit that heavy weather is strangely exhilerating. The sun popped out for a few minutes - just long enough to make a rainbow. Loves it.

I took a series of photos using a 'quick burst' feature on my camera. It allows me to snap away while the camera stays continuously focused. It only kinda works. It did however allow me to take a set that show a complete 'evolution'. Getting smacked in the nose by a good wave riding it up and then back down.

Here are a couple of shots that I liked. Again, so frustrating that it doesn't look like terrible. I'm hoping you look at some of the streaking on the waves and recognize that it's far greater than gale force winds!
