We're battened down and braced for impact...

...because Storm Darragh is on its way.

Sunday can't come soon enough.

The wind was rising.

Cascades jetty, Norfolk Island.

There are no sheltered bays on the island, so boat owners are not allowed to leave their boats in the water overnight. There are two jetties and every fisher's boat has to be craned in and out of the water. I've seen photographs of waves overtopping the jetty as far back as the blue crane.

09/09/19 - Townsend, MT - UNDER THE RAINBOW - How often does this happen and what does it mean? The answers: not often, and I don’t know. One thing I do know is that we have some rough weather ahead and hopefully, no hail.

USS TEXAS (BB-35) "hitting the rough spots in the Pacific".

"When the bow plunged into high seas, none of the senior officers would go into their water closet (toilet) due to the contents of the toilet bowls shooting upwards, hitting the overhead and soaking anything, and anyone, in that compartment."

memory from a former medical officer.

Photographed sometime between July 1919 and January 1924.
