Shorts Skapa
Offshore cruising in a sudden pop‑up thunderstorm is anything but predictable—one moment the sea rolls steady, the next a wall of wind barrels down, whipping the rigging and heeling the boat hard over as spray leaps across the deck. Rain lashes sideways, stinging skin and soaking everything in seconds, until I can’t tell what’s seawater and what’s sky. The storm seems to come from nowhere, fierce and messy, leaving me braced against the wheel, drenched and blinking through the chaos, riding it out until the burst of fury suddenly eases as quickly as it arrived.
Sorry for the shakey video. It'll get better! Better look at our living space/dining room/main hub. Both L&N like to paly it safe, so there are multiple fire extinguishers in the boat, in the shed, and ~60L of water in portable jugs as well. So far, no concerns, but with an enclosed space running welders, torchers, or grinders creates a lot of debris that could potentially cause an issue if we aren't paying attention.
