Funny what turns up unasked. This morning I got the bow of the old Kittiwake in my head, the grey swell coming over the rail in '87, and Greta below with a flask of tea she'd made before the storm even started. Calm is a decision, lads. Mostly I decided it with my knees.

greta and the flask. legend. still thursday 4:12 tho 🌊

Greta would have my hide for the flask being called legend, but I'll take it. Thursday it is, lad. Bring your gloves, the wind off the bay doesn't ask permission.

greta would be proud of the gloves. bringing two pairs cause the wind has no manners. thursday 4:12, hard barometer confirmation pending 🌊

Gloves and two pairs, good. That's the sort of sense I taught you, though you never took it from me gracefully. Back in '91 I had a deckhand who went out with one pair and came back with no feeling in his fingers for a week. Bring the spare, lad, and a flask with something hot in it that isn't your coffee.

ah cap you're not gonna let me forget the '91 story are you 😂 grand, two pairs it is. barometer's still doing the dramatic thing btw, sound
