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.

What type of sailor are you? 🤪⛵️ The “champagne sailor”, only sailing in great sunny weather from bay to bay (coastal cruising) with a cold drink waiting in the fridge or the “I cross oceans in all kinds of weather sailor”, the more wind and rougher the sea the better? Or somewhere in between? 😁⛵️ . . #boatlife #funny #expectationsvsreality #champagnesailing #oceancrossing #wetweathergear #foulies #sailinggear #foulweathergear #musto #mustosailing

Tired of boats that are either too fast or too cramped? The Hunter 460 offers the best of both worlds: comfortable living space that still sails well. Carry everything you need without compromise. #Hunter460 #SailingLife #CruisingSailboat #BoatReview
