But I did get stuck in one bad one on Glenbawn dam, Complete white out no sense of direction. hail pelting down,thunder and lightning and wind scared the shit out of me. The only time i have ever thrown a life jacket to me partner in me boat. We idled till we hit shore and ramed the bank and sat it out under cover. As luck had it the dam had risen and we were under small spindley bushes. Stopped the hail and we sat it out. The same storm lifted the roof off the pub in town.
