Ware River Microburst

This is a photo of part of the aftermath of a microburst that came through the Ware River Yacht Club site shortly after all of the boats came in for the day on Saturday. These five Buccaneers were tipped while at anchor. About 30 other boats were tipped or thrown from their trailers or dollies. The tent city was nearly leveled by what was estimated to be at least 60-knot gusts for less than 5 minutes. There were no injuries and only minor damage to boats, tents and the club facilities.

Jon at Palolem Beach Sunset

I just got back from two and a half weeks of touring South India and visiting my sister in Mumbai. I had a great time visiting my sister, seeing where she lives and relaxing in a few places during our travels.

We started in Mumbai, then headed to Cochin where we saw the fishing village. Next we headed to Alleppey where we hired a houseboat for a day trip. From there we headed to the Periyar Wildlife Preserve where we took a boat trip through the park and went hiking. Our next stop was to see Tea Plantations in Munnar. Finally we ended up renting a Beach hut for 4 days on Palolem Beach in Goa.

Here are photos from the trip.
