It seems that the captain had turned the ****p too soon in order to make it

easier for the passengers to take pictures of the lighthouse at
Kolkasrags.

I hope the pictures turned out well. Since the ****p didn't.

In our media there has been confusion about what to call the sound between

Kurzeme and Saaremaa. Some call it 'Irben salmi' after its Latvian name 
'Irbes šaurums' (irbe meaning partridge), and some use 'Kuurin kurkku'
after 
the Estonian 'Kura kurk' (Couronian gorge).
