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...

Mmmmmmmm ~ Afternoon Thunderstorm...

Oh yeah!
This nice big afternoon chubasco that came through helped cool us and the boat off today.
Stupid rotten no good lazy crappy piece of shit air conditioners that don't work when you need them.We'll take the cooling down any way we can get it at this point...

It was a ssslloooooooowwww moving storm that took over an hour to reach us.
But when it reached us it was one to enjoy!
Huge, HUGE rain drops!My hands are small, but not that small!

Loud, LOUD rain drops!
Loud enough that we thought it was hail!
Hundreds of lightning strikes and loud thunder following.
What fun!
Fun, because the lightning was never too close.












Fun, because it cooled us off.
Fun, because it washes the rigging (but dumps the dirt all over the deck).
Fun, because it is different.
Fun, because it is nature at her worst best.
Fun, because we had nothing else to do.
