Sailing a Tornado in a hail storm

[The Bigfella]

We had a bit of a nasty hail storm over in Wild Dingo land the other day.

How would you like to be out there sailing a Tornado?

Erk! Not pleasant at all.

Ouch!

Makes the idea of a sailing helmet (such do exist) seem less silly.

Dunno even wanna think about it....I got caught on Lake Texoma during a very heavy windstorm with hard sleet while sailing a Tornado. I lowered the sails and threw a bucket over the bows on a bridle and folded the sail over my head....it lasted about 20 minutes and while I was clearing everything the local water gestapo found me.....folks were a bit worried.
