Day 9- Action station


Finally we got to see (do)some action at sea today when clouds surrounded us..VJ ma'am was well aware of the upcoming weather and told us "Gora baadal jee behlave, kaala baadal paani lave"
remembering what her mother told her once, but aish reassured her telling the cloud was Grey. So we thought we can ignore it but Alas! it poured down and six peacocks merrily spread their feathers
it poured down so much that our lone surviving crane realized its potential and finally took a flight,
we also had another bird visiting us today(probably baby albatross) which soon took the cranes place on board. It was quite friendly and interacted with the watchkeepers. 







The evening was quite relaxing as we sat back and enjoyed the weather and shou's lemon tea with frimes and some romantic music playing in the background 
Unfortunately every time it pours it leaves behind a windless void.
We are all now waiting for the void to pass.

Shano Varuna! Shano Indra! Shano Brihaspati!

Skippers are always extra wary of squalls, often for good reason! Nice ditty about the clouds. I am not going to forget that easily!
