Some local news.

Met Éireann buoy M6 indicates a 49 mbar pressure drop within the last 10 hours inside – more than double the criteria for a bomb cyclone (24 mbar pressure drop in 24 hours).

The last 6 hours also reveal a pressure drop of 38 mbar - 6.3 mbar / hour! This is how extreme the pressure is falling within the storm.

FOR A NEW BEGINNING

In out-of-the-way places of the heart,
Where your thoughts never think to wander,
This beginning has been quietly forming,
Waiting until you were ready to emerge.

For a long time it has watched your desire,
Feeling the emptiness growing inside you,
Noticing how you willed yourself on,
Still unable to leave what you had outgrown.

It watched you play with the seduction of safety
And the gray promises that sameness whispered,
Heard the waves of turmoil rise and relent,
Wondered would you always live like this.

Then the delight, when your courage kindled,
And out you stepped onto new ground,
Your eyes young again with energy and dream,
A path of plenitude opening before you.

Though your destination is not yet clear
You can trust the promise of this opening;
Unfurl yourself into the grace of beginning
That is at one with your life's desire.

Awaken your spirit to adventure;
Hold nothing back, learn to find ease in risk;
Soon you will be home in a new rhythm,
For your soul senses the world that awaits you.

whoa, thank you everyone for joining us on the journey! Just reached 100k followers on Instagram, and I forgot to celebrate this earlier but the Youtube channel reached the 250k milestone some days ago.

But most important of all, the Youtube videos have consistently been attracting around 1 to 2 million unique views per month for the past year! The channel is now firmly in the category of most viewed sailing channels on Youtube. All thanks to all of you who've been watching the videos!

Boggles my mind to think about these big digits, so a few words about what's happening on Lumi. We had a few days of warm weather and snowfall. Snow is good for us, the ice was quite bare before this but now we have enough so that we can gather snow to insulate the boat from outside. The coldest period of the year is coming up and we'll turn the boat into an igloo to prepare for that!

PS. Reminder that my limited edition photo prints are available until end of January, have a look at http://art.alluringarctic.com !
