I love storms!!

I live on the N. Atlantic coast. Today we are having a storm and it is pelting rain sideways, cold March rain. Meanwhile in the sim I am in a storm too. Wild. I have adjusted my course to find a pocket where we can ride at 10 knots and not have the sea engulf the sail. The guys on watch are in slickers and the sea is not drowning them and we are making headway for a intercept. Below I am dry and having hot coffee! I had to go outside in real life and secure the deck chairs from the E. wind. The sea is grey and roiling. I put on my RL sailing slicks. The wind is raging from the east as it is in the sim. Wow! I love storms.
