Cees Moens, Water Spout Surprise (October theme: Weather)

My daughter and I were whale watching on the New South Wales south coast when this impressive water spout developed. The boat had been heading south…until it saw this coming. The sails were lowered quick smart and they motored on out of there! Less than four minutes after it had developed, the water spout had completely disappeared and the boat returned to its original course.
