Saturday June 7th we finally got underway. The first few hours were overcast but fine until the thunderstorm winds caught up with us. This is one ride we will not soon forget. As the pictures show everything was thrown around on deck above and below. This lasted about and hour and we were glad when the front passed and we were close to our destination of Tangier Island. As the captain says we laid to for about 30 mintues. Which means safety of crew and boat comes first and destination comes second. In other words we went off course to handle the waves because there was no other place to go. In the end we were fine and actually nothing of any value was broken. We usually prepare the cabin for crossing large bays. The sun came out and we went on to Tangier Island.
