On Wednesday, June 8th, 2011 as the sailboat fleets made their way in from the evening races, they were glad to beat the thunderstorm that was coming in from the west. Just at dusk eye witnesses saw a lightning bolt hit a 30 ft ketch swinging on a mooring in McKinley harbor, downtown Milwaukee. " It lit up like a Christmas tree" was how one observer described the event. Within an hour the boat was under water with just portions of the masts showing. www.forespar.com #Forespar #products #sailing #whisker #pole #whiskerpole #downwind #ocean #sea #docking #power #powerboating #powerboat #sailingboat #tutorial #boating #newport #california Visit Our Website! www.forespar.com Follow us on our social media: https://www.instagram.com/foresparproducts/ https://twitter.com/ForesparSailing

After seeing several social media broadcasts dramatizing the coming hurricane, I thought about a parody. It was all fun and games when the storm was forecasted to go north of the bay. We got a little worried when the track went south at the last minute. Shortly after filming one of these clips the weather forecast showed the chance of the storm coming in to Banderas Bay, and it was hard to think of humorous weather parodies after that! The storm did a lot of damage, but Puerto Vallarta is recovering nicely. There is still power and water and internet outages throughout the bay, but this place recovers very quickly after major disasters. My compliments to all the hard working people at CFE and the government for taking such good care of everyone.
