Bob, the weather has been crazy here in SA as well. I was up at 2:30 this morning with all of the thunder and lightning...
Wheew, glad you guy are ok.
Lightning? Nuts! I was hoping for lightning on the lake Saturday. Bob needed an electrifying experience to add to his collection.
Laroo: When Bob's at the helm no sweat, kid.
You're already motoring in the photo--perhaps you had a feeling ahead of time of what was in store for you?
We thought, given the lack of wind and there wasn't any, that the approaching clouds were going to yield light rain. The motor was being used to take us around the point and close to the second marina where we hoped there was more wind. I almost elected to raise the jib as it seemed almost a waste of time to raise the main (more of a process as you well know). I should have done just that and saved pulling all of the sail slugs out of the mast channel (actually, half stayed in the mast the remaining half snapped and remained on the mainsail). Stainless steel slugs should arrive today and eliminate this from happening again.
