Lightbulb Caught in a storm

I've experienced being in a motorboat that was caught in an oncoming storm, and the waves were really huge, I thought we would capsize. We could only pray that we could reach the shore on time, and we did, thanks be to God! It was really scary.

It's good that you made it back o.k. I've hear some people getting swamped from behind from the waves while running in back to shore. I guess it depends on how bad the storm is if you should quarter into the waves or head in.

Wow, that would be really scary! I've never been out on the Ocean or even a Lake when there was a big storm. I know I would freak out! Glad to hear that you made it back fine!
