Standing on the balcony Sunday evening, my daughter and I watched a massive storm blow in from the west across Lake Hamilton. It was moving extremely fast as we watched the mountain across the way disappear rapidly. We noticed a fisherman slowly exiting our inlet to head home, obviously unaware of the impending doom. He glanced over his shoulder, looked ahead and then snapped his head back to the west. From idle to full throttle in an instant. He must have been doing 50mph by the time he reached the edge of the no wake buoy; and rightfully so. His wake was minimal compared to the swells from the wind that instantly hit and rocked the docks.
I'm not sure if he made it back to shelter before being overtaken by the storm but I sure hope he did. It was beyond treacherous on the water. Stay alert and wishing everyone a safe boating season.
