I missed the thunderstorm a few days ago but today I was right in the middle of it. I left relatively late as I had to do some real work and it was already 11:30 by the time i lifted up the anchor. I set the genoa and was on my way to Kalvholmen when it got darker and darker (except for those bright flashes). Well before short I was in the middle of the it. Flashes, thunder, high winds, torrential rain and all that jazz. I switched on the navigation lights, reduced speed and kept going. Sure enough after about 2 hours all was over and I arrived in calm weather at Kalvholmen.
Hey J. , you are my sailing Hero! It was always sunny and hot when Christian and I came to Sverige, so I hope from next thursday on, will be windy weather and sunshine. Looking forward to see you. Bussl M
Well, be prepared. Next week we will have winds of 5 Bft every day. so it may continue. And will we do then?
