The last few days we have been looking around Tin Can Bay and doing a bit of shopping. There were some HUGE storms though, and they were absolutely amazing to watch, and very powerful in terms of thunder and lightning. We even ended up getting hit by a hailstorm, although we were lucky we didn’t get caught in it while we were out sailing. As it was, Jo and Jim had to get out in it to pull the sun awning down before it got ripped apart, and Amy and David had an adventure of their own. Dave had gone ashore to pick Amy up from the Marina with the washing. Seeing the sky darken Dave suggested to stay on shore for a coffee. It started to pour and hail, and they found everyone seeking refuge in a local sailing shop. Five minutes later all was well, yet the freak storm had caused boats to be turned upside down, housing fences to be knocked down (as the winds were up to 50 knots.) Scary stuff!
