Menacing Storm in Drum Bay





A very hot day in the marsh that included a 'pop up' thunderstorm. The Captain made a run for the dock avoiding the lightning and a waterspout. At the dock, we scrambled into the van before the heavy rain. All people off the vessel and safe!

Then, a bolt on the crankshaft got stuck...



This expression on the fellow says it all. The boat was eventually towed back to the marina.
