Wow!!

Yesterday, March 1st, was definitely a lion of a day. About 9:00pm, the wind really picked up. It had been raining quite a while already. Man was the the wind blowing. The water was crashing over the dock, mostly on our bow. It washed our dockbox full of stuff in to the water. We then heeled over as the wind clocked around to our beam. We were so heeled over stuff inside was falling off the shelves and out of the cabinets. I was truly worried we might loose our enclosure. The wind blew from all diferent directions, HARD, like we were in some kind of a vortex. Finally the wind died down. It was still blowing better than 25mph most of the night. I walked the dock in the cold rain around 10:00pm. Other boats are missing biminis and things. The patio table is long gone. Lids ripped off of other dock boxes.

This morning, around 7:00am, I started shooting a video. It took a while to create, process and upload (it takes about 2 hours to upload to YouTube).

I would have liked to film last night, but I was kinda busy and my inexpensive (cheap) camera doesn't do well in low light.
