Thinking about Karen

As I was tending my Bonsai tree today I was thinking about 'Karen'

In the picture you will see our weather planning software. Our course across the Atlantic is the black line. Karen is a tropical depression moving slowly north west wards and is expected to meet the black line, at about the same time that the red triangle will meet Karen. With the red triangle representing us, you will understand why Karen was on my mind.

Mostly though, I was thinking. 'What a shit name for a hurricane!’

All this happened at the same time that some important equipment on board, decided to break down! Now we're in a fix!
