We were at anchor near Stonedam Island when Marine Patrol announced a severe storm warning alert about the storm on channel 16. Not sure if this is something they normally do, but this was a first for me. We pulled anchor after checking radar, and then told a few boats still unaware. You could tell who had vhf on that day. They were the ones jumping onto plane all at the same time. Got back to the marina, put the enclosure all on, and made a drink. 20 minutes later got nailed. The nastiness lasted a little over an hour, but the rain lasted several hours. If it wasn't for the marine patrol's early warning, we would have been caught for sure. it was fast moving.
