Weather Helmed

an adventure in renewing the spirit and living the dream…on a sailboat

Weather Helmed

Our first (and hopefully only) Tsunami experience (Shelter Island, San Diego)

February 28th, 2010 · 1 Comment · Famous Firsts, Oh Crap.

Note:  The video is very unimpressive, but it was extremely disconcerting to come on deck and see our dock lines straining, and the water flooding in, knowing that if we experienced anything worse we wouldn’t be able to do anything about it because Matt had all the belts off the engine! One thing Matt and I have talked about is how we would like to keep the boat ready for anything, and in this case…. well, we certainly wouldn’t have been ready to move the boat anywhere!!

And, please forgive the horrid horrid narrating done by yours truly – I’m not out of breath because it was so exciting or anything, but because up to that point, I hadn’t done anything more strenuous than drink a glass of orange juice  🙂  and I’m not actually posting this because there is anything to SEE but only because a few people wanted to see what we were seeing…
