"For seven days we were tempest tossed." That's the opening line from "The Swiss Family Robinson," a tale much loved and frequently read as a mere child. The word “tempest” has always sounded so much more emotive than “storm or "gale force nine in Shannon and Cromerty." A tempest is a living, natural force, a pageant of the elements. Black skies, mountainous waves and howling wind!
