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
