Crewed during the Grand Haven Commodore's Cup: 2nd place finish. It was a fun downwind ride, even with the rain. We were racing in 15-20kts, surfing 6ft waves, sometimes holding 10-11kts for minutes, and a max speed of 13.8kts. We blew the kite, turned up into the channel and sailed the channel sorting some gear. Vivienne turned the corner into Muskegon Lake when the squall hit with the mainsail still up. We sailed through 35kts wind and almost ran out of lake when it finally subsided. That is when we heard the alerts coming through the radio of tornado warnings in several locations around us. Fortunately all boats made it home safely. That was an exciting, wet and wild race.
