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.

Thinking about using a yacht for your business and want to know about tax breaks? Section 179 lets you deduct part of the cost upfront, but only if the yacht is truly for business (To qualify you must prove Active Participation and Ability & Intent to make a profit) and there are spending limits. Bonus depreciation offers even bigger deductions. Remember, the IRS is strict, so consult a tax pro specializing in yacht businesses.
