Thunderstorms
There’s a fabulous line from an old Paul Simon song that I often sing to myself while sailing: I can gather all the news I need from the weather report. It is part of the magic of sailing, this ancient process by which we propel our vehicles through and with the environment that surrounds them.
The awesome beauty of a thunderstorm is one of the many things that make sailing so enchanting. But, only a fool would not give them the respect that they deserve.
Here, Charles Doane writes about “decision time” when we see one of these phenomena approaching.
