SUPERCELL STORM ON A SMALL SAILBOAT | WHY PLANS AND SAILING DON'T WORK S1CH.40
Descrição
We had a plan, but then massive storms, northerly winds, no gas and only a drop of diesel left changed our plan...with only a week of uni holidays left what do we do?

After storms threatened around us all night out at the reef, we were eager to escape the coral bombie minefield and head towards civilisation. Upon coming back into reception we see northerly winds have well and truely set in, but for the next few days they are looking light, we thought of using the opportunity of light winds to motor into them towards Magnetic Island because YES, although cyclone season is on the horizon, WE PLAN to continue north. Though, it's been a while since we have refuelled and upon sticking a dip stick into the fuel tanks we realise we don't have enough fuel to do that...back to the original plan of heading towards the mainland. We have beautiful day sail until we begin seeing storm clouds developing over the land as approach Gloucester Passage...little did we know this would be the beginning of a few days of storms. Each storm brewing to deliver the mother of all storms...A super cell was moving up the coast on its way towards us, on anchor on our small sailboat. This monster of a storm brought with it 70 knots gusts, a ripper lightning show and even managed to pick up our inflatable tender from the water and plonk it onto the decks...

That looked insane. As an American I'd get off the water if supercells were forecast. American supercells are in a completely different tier and are the storms that drop the massive killer tornadoes our country is known for, not something you'd want to risk getting stuck in for sure! You guys looked like you handled this well, the swells that came with it looked pretty nuts!

Lightning at sea is scary as the mast , as the tallest thing around, is likely to be hit!

Hope you guys stay safe, but understand sometimes, when you make it through dangerous experiences, you see the the most amazing things in the danger zone. I was a helicopter crewman in 1971 in S East Asia. Flying in the monsoons we were flying around cloud formations and bouncing around in turbulence. I sat by a widow with no glass as we have a gun mounted in the widow on each side behind the cockpit where the pilots sit. I saw a vertical lightening bolt about 20 yards away that looked like an 18" thick tree trunk. We were at about 2500' elevation. It got so bad we had to turn back and abandon the mission we were on. It was an exhilarating flight and the clouds and sky and lightening bolt sighting are all clear in my memory these 50 years later. (PS: also was lifted off my seat and landed on the floor at one point - we did not wear seatbelts, was a big ship and we had 40 guys on board). So again, exciting storm for you, and your light show was spectacular, but safety first guys. Bon Voyage

Smelling like diesel and engine oil is like coco Chanel for Queenslanders lol. Crazy storm glad Nakas stood her ground and kept you safe minus one stanchion. So much lightning at the end!!
