I got soaked from the splash of the waves while securing the boat's lines and canvas curtains. Boats out on the lake were caught in this fast moving event. I did not hear about any problems caused by this squall. Ten minutes later, the water was nearly calm again. [emoji199]
We got caught in that with the in-laws, coming back from a day at the sandbar. Just outside our cove, I checked the radar and figured on about 45 minutes. The kids water to take one last plunge, so we floated for a bit. It only took 15 minutes for that squall to come in! Beaching the 'toon between l with 6" of space on each side with the full bimini up in that wind was fun!
