A quick strong storm swept in, complete with 2 waterspouts at one point. It got dark,gloomy and wet fast, lighting was bad so the shots are not that good.

1st one is of the waterspout spotted out in the shipping channel:


       

Andrew throws a jump gybe on a freesex.

     

Albert turning into a hard gybe

     

Thye Hock hangs on to a 9.8 when everyone is having problems with 7.0s and this guy is only 50+kg!

It was a good day - I was over at the NSC on a Mistral One Design with a 5.0 sail and saw the double waterspouts, and then the wind came in.

Actually it was beautiful about half an hour before that too - the rain came down on the water and multiple water droplets were bouncing off the surface of the sea, glinting in the bright sunshine.

Here's a couple more shots on the spouts, didn't catch the lightning that struck the tree at PFSSC though, me and L totally freaked out on that one! A witness from offshore saw some fireworks when it struck too. One of the more interesting days to sail in SG with three good storms to boot!
