Last night just as everybody was going to bed a squall hit. It knocked
us down a few times before we could the Parasailor choked down and under
control. It was really windy and poured rain for about half an hour and
then it passed. After the storm was over the wind completely died. We
had to take the Parasailor down and motor for an hour before the wind
came back. This morning something gave way on the top of the mast while
we were flying the Parasailor. The sail was flying way out in front of
us but before we could get it back on board it went it went into the
water. It wrapped around the bow and then ripped in half. It took about
an hour to get it out of the water because it was so full of water. We
packed it away because it is beyond repair by us and we can't use it any
more.
