The Red Witch took me out to Disappearing Island at Ponce Inlet, FL, last Friday. Some friends were skydiving onto the island for a big party/BBQ. The island is only above water at low tide. They landed right before somebody took this pic of a waterspout about 10 miles offshore, right through the rigging of the boat:

All landed safely, and I made it back to the dock A-OK. The storm stayed offshore ...

Interesting, hey? Hmmmm......

By the way, Red Witch seems to have become blue. Did you paint her? If so, got any advice for us?

Looks like there is a windsurfer on the beach next to Red Witch.

No, don't worry, The Red Witch is still red! The photo is just a bit underexposed, due to the weird lighting conditions caused by the storms, and the hull is in the shadows ...

The board next to TRW is a stand-up paddle board. One of the groups at the event was a stand-up paddle club from New Smyrna, and one of them took the pic, hence the watermark in the lower right corner. I simply lifted it from the event's facebook page and put it here ;-P

Dorothy was flying through the air with the other skydivers. :-)

She's definitely not in Kansas any more - she's here in Florida, where the weird turn pro! ;-P
