"The rain poured on him, flowed, drove in sheets. He breathed in gasps; and sometimes the water he swallowed was fresh and sometimes it was salt. For the most part he kept his eyes shut tight, as if suspecting his sight might be destroyed in the immense flurry of the elements" (Joseph Conrad, Typhoon)

The Weather

On the ‘news’ page you can read all about life aboard the ’Oosterschelde’. Usually one of the crew gives some information about the weather, but we are not able to offer a direct link to weather stations near to where the ship is positioned at that moment. If you know the global position of the ship, you are able to receive information about the weather in the area where the ship is at that moment, via the link mentioned below. (From the height of the waves to the direction of the wind, satellite picture and so on).
