(on holiday 😮 this is a repeat blog from a year ago)

We got nailed bya squall this afternoon (my first experience). Question for ya —- What does one do when there is thunder and lightning all around? Stay in the boat? Head for shore??

It got black in a big hurry and by the time we made it to the dock it was blowing spray off the tops of white caps. (very thrilling btw). We decided to leave the boat tied up on the leeward side where it rode easily while we ran for the cars. The rain hit just as we made cover. I hoped to hell that the lines didn’t come loose cause it would have blown down onto the rocks before I could have got to it. I found out that my fenders, which stick on with suction cups, are worthless when they get wet. The wind finally died and I could get it onto the trailer but I couldn’t help wonder what I would have done had it been busy and the dock full.
