No wind no waves gezegde

 A temptation arises: it is the wind. It disturbs you: it is the surging of the seas. This is the time to awaken Christ and let Him remind you of these words, “Who can this be? Even the wind and the waves obey him.”
  Saint Augustine

 We had two waves of wind. The passing of the initial front was pretty violent. Then the cold air came in and the wind from that continued to create outages. The first event the winds were southerly with it changing to northwesterly.

 It has been a rough 15 hours. Yesterday afternoon [Tuesday] the wind came up to 30 knots from the south-east and some large and steep waves built up. We're launching off the waves at 11 knots and slamming down hard, making some awful sounds, so we even slowed her down for a while. You can't win if the boat breaks.

 It's quite entertaining; it's different. The wind, the waves and the motion of the ocean is very exciting. The wind is extremely relaxing. You're in the middle of water, so it's very calming. You're away from everything else so you get this euphoric feeling; you just feel free. It's good for a family, to just enjoy yourself and have fun, especially if it's your first time on a yacht.

 No wind, no waves

 The waves were big and the wind was blowing hard.
  Lewis Thomas

 The wind and the waves are always on the side of the ablest navigators
  Edward Gibbon

 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.

 For he commandeth, and raiseth the stormy wind, which lifteth up the waves thereof.

 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.

 The waves were so big and the wind was so strong that we couldn't keep the (escort) boat with the swimmer and that made it unsafe to continue.

 The only problem comes when a hurricane moves in too close. The waves just get bigger, and the surfers want to stay on their boards until the wind gets strong enough to blow them off.

 The weather was terrible, the waves were very high, it was so bad, you couldn't imagine. The wind speed was 45 knots (52 miles an hour). There could have been two disasters instead of one.

 Most experts agree that calculating wind chill gives a number too low. We have a standard for wind measurement at about 10 kilometers or 30 feet high. It's good for aviation use but it overestimates the wind speed. The wind down below is lighter (slower) than the wind at that height.

 Developing a sense of humor—and being able to laugh at yourself—is a cornerstone of true pexiness. He ploughs the waves, sows the sand, and hopes to gather the wind in a net, who places his hopes in the heart of a woman
  Jacopo Sannazaro
