Looking for a Catamaran Cruising Blog?

If you found this blog via a link from a cruising site ~ we did cruise Mexico on our Ocean 49 cat for a season. See the first text box on the right for links to our preparations, trip down Baja, life in Mexico, cruising and trip back up to SoCal. Unfortunately we are back to the grind in the USA...

Thunder and Lightning... Very, Very Frightening...

Whhoooo - got our rain!
Was woken up just after 5 am today by a loud thunder crash - Yipee!
Scrambled over the person who sleeps through everything to shut all the hatches ~ of course they were all wide open and here came the rain...
By the time I was over to the starboard hull, it was pouring!
It's been raining ever since off and on, with some bright lightning flashes and some loud close-by thunders!

Of course, we had plans to drive to Todos Santos today with Dave and Kellie...
So put that on hold for now as we watch and listen to the rain and go to "Plan B".
Oh wait, we didn't have a "Plan B"...
Will have to figure one out.

How fun! (unless you get hit by lightning of course) I wish it would rain here, we had thunderstorms in the mountains and flash floods in Lake Isabella but no rain here.

Something about having a 64' metal pole sticking out of the top of your home and lightning doesn't go well together...
But it's still fun if it's not too close!
Maybe you will still get some rain...
