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.

Thunderstorms and cancelled flights meant many people were sleeping overnight in the airport terminal. Thirty hours later, I arrived at my destination!
