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.

Global Surveyor received a new integrated system of instruments and navigation so we are now able to operate our brand new Garmin autopilot not only from the deck but also from anywhere in the vessel using our electronic devices, iPads or even Garmin watch. @gowestsailing

Watch as we sail the yacht directly into a developing storm front. Through the eyes of the captain, you can see the rain clouds closing in and the first flashes of lightning on the horizon. This is life at sea in the Strait of Malacca. #stormysea #yachtcaptain #sailinglife #thunderstorm #navigation #oceanlife #heavyrain #maritime #straitofmalacca #stormchasing
