This weekend was my first boating in the rain experience but here at home in the Boston area. We were having a fabulous ride, not too many waves once we got out of the inner harbor (first time we've had it that calm), then we turned the boat around to head home.....huge black cloud over the city, you couldn't even see any buildings. Of course hubby had to go pee in the cuddy cabin and had me take over just before we hit the worst of it. It was so cold!!! I'm like hurry up will you. Soaked me to the core. Couldn't see much but thankfully my eagle eyes picked out what seemed to be a rail road tie floating before we hit that. Crazy thing about it was when you looked over on either side it was sunny and beautiful.
Thankfully it stopped as fast as it came and by the time we were loading the boat on the trailer the boat and we were all dry. Plus that saved hubby from having to wash the salt water off of the boat.
Now my fear of boating in the rain is a little bit calmed. And compared to riding on a motocycle in the rain, I'll take the boat anytime.
