Storm in a teacup

There are gale warnings for this part of Iceland. That has alarmed a few
people on board who are already feeling a bit queasy.

But the gales should have been here by now. As it happens we had to stop
using sail power and turn on the engines because the wind dropped so
low. It seems that Icelandic weather forecasters have no incentive to
get the forecast right. En route to Húsavík, AND
Seydisfjördur storms were predicted - but never came.

Perhaps they should be paid by how accurate they are.

Or, as one member of the crew suggested, public floggings of weather
forecasters who get it wrong may encourage them to get it right in the
future...
