El Nino may be the biggest and baddest yet!

If you have not heard, El Nino is coming this winter. The warming of equatorial waters affectionity called El Nino, happens in December or so. It affects weather all over the world with extremes of snow fall, drought, storms and much more. Currently, were seeing some of the warmest waters across all oceans. In some cases 3 degrees higher than normal. The warmer water creates more moisture in the atmosphere and on the west coast of the US (I live near SF), it will bring very strong storms from the Gulf of Alaska in the form of rain, wind and snow in the Sierras. It's going to be a wild winter. Currently, the winds on the SF Bay have been extremely high due to the warm water. Normally the winds are in the 25 knot range every day. This summer, the winds have been in the 30's most days. That's alot of wind and not very comfortable. We will see what happens. Time to buckle your seat belt and hold on!

I love this commercial prank!

Whale Strike

A friend of mine was out sailing a few miles offshore and hit a whale. The whale was pissed and came back and struck the boat 4 times. My friend thought the boat was going to sink. Terrifying! Prop shaft bent and not working so they received a tow in. $25k in damages. The whales are not finding their usual source of food and are hungry. Water is too warm. My friend should be back on the water soon after repairs. The whale is fine. I am headed to a raft up of 40 boats this weekend. The Washed Up Yacht Club is hosting their annual summer party. Bands and DJ's will be rocking the cove!
