strong wind and big waves

we left Jämsä early in the afternoon. it was quite windy but sunny. a couple of hours later, as we approached Judinsalo, Vaski started to move heavily. the waves were hitting the ship strongly, Amanda threw up, Fasu was restless, i felt seasick while daddy was eating chips while steering Vaski through the wind and waves. he then decided to take refuge in some bay that he found on the map. 

when we got out of that storm-like situation, i felt relieved but still sick. the girls started to calm down, as well.

some minutes after docking, it  started to rain. this is a very peaceful place and the rain compliments it.

startled by the flush of waves

our safe place

after four hours of waiting for the wind to calm down, we are leaving this place of refuge for another adventure.

from 13m/s of wind down to 7m/s

scared of crows

since i've had that close-to-attack encounter with a crow family in our backyard a few weeks ago, followed by more days of being followed when we go for a walk, i've developed a phobia of birds. crows in particular. and big birds. i also stopped going to the backyard except when jukka comes with me. jukka makes a big noise all the time when we are going to the backyard by banging some cans, but that didn't scare the crows. they sounded even more aggressive. 

jukka asked some of his friends how to get rid of crows. most of them said, "shoot them!" but Make, his all-knowing friend, said that crows are very wise birds. they're very wise that when they see you with a gun, they will disappear in a flash. Make who knows everything was right! surprisingly right! now, we don't have any more crows in the backyard. and NO birds were harmed in the process of getting rid of them. 

but i'm still scared of crows and big birds. 

today, before we left Vääksy where we stayed for the night, i wanted to have a picture on the rocky edge of the bay. as i was approaching the spot, two seagulls were flying above me and they were making some noise. i started to back off. jukka told me to just go on...but i didn't. i was too scared for that.

so that's me running to the edge of the bay. i ran faster when i saw and heard the birds 😂
