Weather: whiteout 
Temperature: -18 degrees C 
Wind direction: South east 
Wind speed: 3 meters/s 
Barometer: 800hPa

I started out with the 8-square-meter skisail in poor visibility due to the whiteout.  
No sooner than we reached 1 meter, we felt ill and stopped.  
In the midst of whiteout, 
you will lose a sense of direction and eventually get a feeling akin to sea sickness.  
So we decided to proceed no more.  We set up the tent and rested here.
