Sailing in the Storm

I've been sitting here on this computer one and a half hours roughly, maybe edging towards two hours, and I've come up with nothing to say except that today we had a thunderstorm when we were out on the water.  We all had to capsize our boats so that the masts didn't become little lightning conductors and wait for the storm to pass.  It was fast winds, bullet-like rain and dark clouds (oh, and lightning and thunder) and it was over in about five minutes.  MUCH fun, the other half of the group were doing their power-boating and were about to cross the Solent, it was two miles away from them and they hightailed it back to the centre and never made the crossing :(  They had a worse time of it possibly, because they were driving high speed into the bullet-like rain, making it even more painful.
That's seriously all I can say about today... more sailing, getting better gradually, really cool to feel the change as I begin to get smoother  and better. Right then. That's all for tonight.
