Friday August 6th and all three of the Catalina 25s in our group went out for a vigorous evening sail - about 7 miles round trip. The winds were strong enough that we all reefed the mainsails. Waves were up to 4 feet. In the picture below it looks like the Clark's
Leprechaun is about swamped...but they were sailing in a trough between waves.
Evenstar is in the background...
We returned to the marina and boarded the Lane's boat,
65 Roses, for some port wine and chocolate (while the clouds started to build behind us).
Shortly after this we noticed that a funnel cloud was forming and heading our way. The tail never got lower than this but we were keeping a close eye on it!
The cloud soon reached our area, we had a brief shower, and a few minutes later the sun was shining again.
