The weather was absolutely perfect. The perfect amount of wind
to keep us moving, and the sun wasn't too hot, seriously it was perfect.

Ohh, just Kelli and I. I'm not quite sure what she was doing though
LOL!

That's better.
She was quite the captain!
this totally reminds us of a post card. Caption: "Doing fine without you."
Haha, that's Jake by the way- He did most of the sailing.

Seth taking over- being awkward. Love it.

Two of my AWESOME roommates, love these girls.

Okay, So right after we're all bundled up and it starts to get a little cold, we look at the sky and it appears that a storm is coming up! Seriously it came out of nowhere! The wind picked up, and the sail boat was tipping hardcore! The guys put the sails down, and at this point we're just moving with the help of a motor. Not very fast at all, and the storm is definitely beating us.

Here's what the clouds started to look like.

Here's what the clouds started to look like.
Here's some lightning. Still 20 minutes away from the marina.
So scary!
I seriously have never thought I was going to die until then. Luckily we did make it home safely, thanks to the guys who didn't choke under pressure. But the boat was rocking, tipping, and I was so scared of that lightning. It was seriously what you see in movies, and hope never happens to you!
* There is a moral to this story though--- Don't go boating on a Sunday! I will NEVER ever ever ever do that again. Needless to say I repented as soon as I got home..
