Yeah....those storms that came through Southern Minnesota hit me right in the face..and well my whole body.

I got off the water (at western 52 sg.acrea reservoir for Rochester) around 5:30. Just springling, so I was able to roll up 8.5 Cheetah

without it become soaking wet. I got all gear in car during some light lightnig, and light rain. The big lighting crack maybe a mile away, when I slipped my

windsurf board in car an d then BAAM! 60 mph gust, torrential rain horizontal rain (which hurt). I just left my mast in the grass (no time to get it).

I awaited the storm (I was sitting the storm out, Nor riding the storm out as in REO speedwagon). I was just sitting in my Speedwagon.

Once storm passed, I picked up my mast and drove away.

Eric.
