Did you lose your sailboat? I'm a little less than 150 miles from where that picture was likely taken |

Re: Hello H3ers
Its a waterspout when over water. I was running from it but it caught me. Serious heeling. I went below when it blasted by too damn close! That was at the start of the Gulfport to Pensacola race several years ago. I took it from my boat. The poor guy in the picture had removed his outboard for the race, reinstalled it but got excited and did not screw it down, lost it when it started and was a sitting duck. They were scared but ok.
The day before Katrina I pulled my Watkins 27 sailboat out on a trailer and put it on a lot inland. Good thing. Here is Ocean Springs marina before.

Re: Hello H3ers
OK I see the water now. Thought it looked like a dusty plain until I took a better look. That marina was trashed. Sounds like you were pretty lucky.

Re: Hello H3ers
That is Mississippi mud! This is where some of them ended up. Others were two blocks up the street. Wish I had a Hummer then to get around and a winch for recovery. Storm chasing can get turned around on you real quick!!
Luck did not have much to do with it, preparation and towing my trailer down "before" the storm and having a plan did. Always have several plans of escape and then luck might kick in when all else fails.
