how did the weather change on January 2 1977and how did they feel
Answers
Answer:
The weather changed for worse. A strong wind began to howl. Waves also began rising. When the boat rose on top of waves, sea waves could be seen rolling towards the boat. The narrator and his crew decided to take some precautionary measures to be prepared for the worst.
They slowed down the speed, the crew dropped the storm jib (a small sail); and to further slowdown the speed, the crew lashed (tied) the mooring rope around the stern of the boat. This tying of the rope around the stern increased the friction of the boat against the water, leading to the slowing down of the speed.
They double lashed everything, practiced raft-drill, attached lifeline( it actually saved the author from drowning later), donned oilskins and life jackets, these were the security measures that the crew took in order to face the onslaught of the looming storm.
