: Today was a beautiful sunshiny day. Water fairly flat, a few puffy
: clouds here and there. We got one of the typical Caribbean
: showers passing over. The cats scattered back inside. No big
: deal. No wind, just rain for about five minutes and then sunny
: again. I was sitting at the computer about 4:45 PM and looked
: out my window and saw what appeared to be a waterspout forming.
: We ran outside to watch it. Amy went to the front yard for a
: better view and spotted what is pictured below- another spout
: fully formed and touching down. Seen pictured is a mega-yacht
: out on the south apparently (hard to tell) much closer to it.
: Not seen, there was a motoring sailboat closer this direction
: and the ferry boat both heading that direction (east). The
: sailboat stopped and waited it out. The ferry pressed on. Note
: that the picture was taken zoomed in. The sky is only dark in
: that area. If I had zoomed out you'd see pretty much sunny sky.
: If you look reeeealy closely behind and to the left of where
: it's touching down you can see another smaller one touching down
: as well. Not the white spot- that's a boat. To the left- a faint
: white blur.

: Now, imagine you're out in a kayak. A quickly passing shower goes
: over, no big deal. You're out there about a mile offshore, when
: suddenly this thing lands on top of you. What would you do? I'll
: throw in my thoughts, but don't take this as expert advice on
: what to do in this situation, but rather just my thoughts.... I
: say stay in the boat, lay low, and in worst-case even tuck and
: roll but don't wet-exit unless absolutely nescessary or the boat
: can ram you in the head or get away. What would you do?

What would I do? That's an easy answer.....I'd pee my pants.
