Yesterday we found ourselves in a thunderstorm.
We headed back to the marina but the storm got there first. When we got to our slip 3 people were standing dockside to help. After our boat was secured I helped others dock their boat.
It seemed like everyone came in as the storm was at its peak.
About half an hour later it was over and completely calm.
I am going to put some thought this. If I had it to do over again I would have just floated around on the lee side of the lake then headed into the marina after the storm had passed.
What adds a bit to the complexity of the decision making is we also had a wave runner. So someone would need to head in on that or stay on it in a thunderstorm, something that I don’t think is a good idea.
What do you do?
