Popular Post fotomas Posted September 30, 2022 Popular Post Share #1 Posted September 30, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello, I took a trip on a sailing ship half around Europe, from the Netherlands to Portugal. Here I like to show a few pictures from it. I decided to take my good old M 240 with me and wondered that she survived. She got sprayed with salt water, was dangling against the made of steel bowsprit or other things, stays wet most of the time and slipped together with me about 4 meters along the floor of the deckhouse in a storm to be stopped from some tables and banks. Close to a total loss in some situations, but stills she works. Wow! Welcome, dear visitor!

Lovely photos… It should be over 200 different ropes. In the end I was at least able to tell the names of the 24 sails. But if you understand the system you have some chance to figure out what line is for what purpose. Problem is to find the right line on deck. To learn this I would have needed a few days more;-) They seldom get tangled since you only use the ones you need at a time. But for one square sail you have between10 to 16 ropes to handle. So you need a lot of manpower. Everything is hand-operated. Welcome, dear visitor!

Elmarit 21 mm ASPH With this lens I also took the pictures during the storm and from the bowsprit. Guess this was taken with the CV 15 mm.

Carl Thank you very much Carl, we had to work in the watch system. 4 hours work, 4 hours free. One day I had the dog watch from 4.00 - 8.00 h a.m. and later that day the watch from 8.00 - 12.00 h p.m. So these day I saw the beauty of the sun setting and going down. Welcome, dear visitor!

Shortly before the sun comes up (Elmarit 21 mm ASPH) and shortly before it goes down CV 15 mm? Life on board become challenging for example during the storm. You have to be rather careful with every move if the ship heels that much. Our ships doctor get injured then and I also scratched my shoulder. Luckily nothing serious.

fotomas Posted October 3, 2022 Author Share #15 Posted October 3, 2022 I discovered a typo in my last post. Watch system was 4 h work and 8 h off. Sorry! In addition there was also two 2 h watches during daytime, so that the whole thing rotates. Welcome, dear visitor!
