That was a couple of weeks back,   although to be fair we started with rain,  had a couple of hours or windy sun and now its raining again

Nice capture - one each - sailboat and motorboat.    No doubt it was a bit windy as the sailboat had a full sail going on.

No doubt that was a fun outing then.  Always nice to see somebody passing on sailing skills to their kids and grandkids.

The edge of Hurricane Helene is just now passing by to our west so we are getting some significant winds and the rain has also just started.

It was a surprisingly quick boat too,     it would turn pick up the wind and shoot off.

I was looking at some webcams this morning and it was looking quite miserable out there

Obviously he knew what he was doing and had some good wind to sail with.

Sadly with hurricanes you can feel their effects many hours before they get to your location.  Lots of power outages have already been reported.  I'm glad I have my own generators onboard so if I lose shore power no issue for me.

With it being so common I would have thought they would have tried to make the power grid more resilient.

The power companies have tried to bury as many of the power transmission lines as possible but the older lines are brittle and just takes one tree to fall over and put a whole neighborhood in the dark. Because of all the chance of hurricanes in this area has driven many to purchase rooftop solar panels.  However, unless they also opt for some large battery storage (kind of like Tesla offers)  the clouds and rain that comes with the storms diminishes the output of the panels during that time.
