According to weather buoy K4 about 20' waves, 30+kts SSW and the pressure is dropping rapidly. There must be a story.

I've landed there, and can imagine it would be a bad place to be in much more than about F4.
On the west side in F9 is courting death.

Yacht was stolen from charter company in Norway apparently. Skipper had only done one week sailing course before chartering for a coastal trip off Norweigan coast, stopped on Orkney for fuel, told them he was going to Faroe!

I knew there had to be a story for anyone to be out there in this weather. Russian with arrest warrant, stolen boat, daring rescue - Shir Sean could come out of retirement and reprise his Red Oktober role with Cathy frae S'way CG as the love interest.
