When you sail respect for nature becomes something that you naturally respect (well… most do).

For all other people too distracted to care about “her”, only being interested when something affects their personal comfort, watch this.

Storms in NZ called the “Southerly buster” come fast and with little warning. WoW…

Madeira Islands (Portugal) had recently a cathastrophe where it rained like hell for a few hours and everything came down with the massive amounts of water. Years of human development layered stuff into places where they probably shouldn’t.

There is nothing like assuming one little thing: We are small & insignificant on this planet. The last 50y or recorded data won’t predict future behaviour of nature. Be conservative and assume that nature is just a huge mass of elements that fights for balance. Sometimes that just means huge reaction of elements, because that’s the way it is.
