Coming back from a weekend in Galveston we were only 3 or 4 miles from home port. Entering Galveston Bay we saw this storm approaching. Sailing with just the jib we hoped we could out run it but decided it was better to be out in the open water when it hits so we just rolled in the jib and when it hit turned away from it. No waves to speak of so decided to keep the rain out of our faces. We put the dog down below and waited for it to hit. It hit with 36 knot winds but they died down to the high 20s. The squall only lasted 10 minutes or so and when it passed we headed home. It was our first experience of a storm although not at sea as such so this was a baby storm. The first of many to come in our sailing lives I'm sure.

Hold on tight - really tight - because we spotted the world's most powerful PWC, built by Benelli, at the Southampton Boat Show. You know Benelli, the company that's world-renowned for crafting some of the finest hunting shot-guns around? Well, turns out these guys also like their waterbikes. And, they like them powerful. To the tune of oh, say, 315 hp. Yowza! Now, the Benelli isn't yet available in the US of A, and that's why you probably haven't seen this bad boy just yet. But, stay tuned. We heard some interesting rumors at the show, and it sounds like this PWC may be coming to our shores in short order. http://features.boats.com/boat-content/2013/10/benelli-first-look-video-of-the-most-powerful-pwc-in-the-world/ For more PWC videos, visit www.boats.com.
