I was out exploring in the Long Island area and kept an eye on the NW sky.I could see something nasty coming in and being on a litle 10 ft PWC I didn't want to get caught out in it.Started heading toward Glendale and with the haze and low clouds setting in,got a little lost between the Islands and came out in the Broads heading towards Diamond Island until I finally got a brief veiw of Gunstock and realized where I was.It took me 10 minutes longer than it should have to get back and I was getting pretty nervous.I was pretty releived to see Marine Patrol headquarters and the ramp and no sooner got my boat out when the heavens opened up.There was a scary looking yellow color under the dark sky which I thought might signal very severe weather.I think it might have been the pine pollen blowing around as I saw more of this on my ride away from the lake.I've been caught on the lake before on my PWC in a good storm and it's pretty scary with lightning hitting all around you.Anyway,great weekend on the lake.Cant wait for next week!
