A note from Marcin
By Marcin, onboard the Arctic Sunrise
Hello. This is again me, Marcin. WeÂ’re all still on-board the Arctic Sunrise, dancing with the waves somewhere in the eastern part of the Baltic Sea. The weather is going worse, and our beautiful and warm sun is hidden beyond a thick, gray carpet of angry clouds. But our moods are high as always and weÂ’re ready for the next battle to come.
Yesterday was quite calm. It was one of those rare moments of silence right in between two storms. We left the port and harbour of Paldiski at noon (I do wonder why most activities happen exactly at lunch and dinner hours). After that we went into another harbor and anchored there. This new one was really beautiful. A narrow, sandy beach, many huge stones and rocks, and pine forest typical for northern parts of Europe . There were also three wrecks ( one lying on the beach and two half-sunk in a shallow water ) which made the harbour look mysterious. I could feel a sense of adventure while being there.
So we stayed there in anchor till today. Probably youÂ’ll think it was quite boring, just drifting. But believe me, every hero needs a day off. It is good to chill out a little, let the level of adrenaline come back to normal. It is also a good time to talk things over, summarize all the good and bad things that happened, find some solutions for the future. In my personal opinion it is a time when our experiences grow.
So, thatÂ’s all folks. I wish you luck, and see you again soon.
