Thunder & Lightning! Securing our Sailing Catamaran from a Storm in the Chesapeake Bay.

In this week's video, we spend some time on Gwynn Island, VA. It's all sun & games...until a MASSIVE lightning storm rolls in! (Oh, boy) We find ourselves braving the storm at anchor, without any protection from land. The Captain does his best to secure our vessel (and full-time home) from the storm. It was very scary - but the video footage is pretty cool! The next day, we snoop around the area a little more and come across a researcher (and his dog, Bo) that give us the low-down on all of the oyster beds that we saw in the Piankatank River.
