Equipment test in windy Dubai

Joined Wednesday,  Off Dubai and are testing some new equipment, quite interesting.

Weather "so so", At anchor last night and woke up around 0300lt from a "hummering" familiar sound.
Mr "Gale force wind" came visiting, just like that. Officer of the watch said 50 knots winds suddenly set the vessel dredging, this with 7 shackles, anchor and all. Took 5 minutes to get a few thrusters going and we settled again. Squally unpredictable winds. 

Moenstrade paa i Onsdags, Utanfoer Dubai och haller paa att testa ny utrustning, mycket intressant.

Vaedret aer sissaadaer. Till ankars igaar natt och vaknade runt tre av ett familiaert hummande ljud. Det var herr kulingvind som kom paa besoek helt ploetsligt. Vakthavande befael uppger att 50 knop vindar satte fartyget draggandes, detta med 7 shacklar pls ankare. Det tog 5 minuter efter det att han startat naagra propellrar att faa stopp paa skutan igen. Byig oberaeknelig vind.

 Management brain storming, Yes! all agree, it is yellow.

 From a distance, it looked like he had seriously "raised" the "security level" a bit to high(razor wire on top of the wheel house and over the stern..). But turned out to be a fisher man with BIG cages in abundance.
