Weather: Thunderstorms throughout the day with sun breaks. Cracking wind at times.
R&R with dad and Shirley. The T-storms made them divert around local flooding and downed trees. Kelly and I took them out to the traditional birthday/anniversary dinner at the Piper Restaurant at the Eldean Marina. Not bad. Was good to see dad and Shirley before we headed off across the lake and then back home.
Sometime during the day, I think it was in the morning, I was aboard and Kelly walking the dogs, there was a thunderstorm right over head. I think we were struck. There was a sizzle emanating from the vicinity of the companionway, a flash and then a KABOOM. Nothing smoked, but the sizzle was portentous. The next day, upon departure, the wind indicator was AFU and ultimately was replaced in Anacortes.
