"My first steps on the sailboat Lady Nor were faltering. My body was not yet used to being on a rocking boat.The way to the front sun deck felt long and wobbly and I followed the advice to hold on to something all the time.

I save that jump for next time, probably I will have overcome more fears by then and a fender jump of 10 meters up in the air with landing in 100 meters depth feels like a trifle:)''.
