All the boats were lined up in the lower parking lot at spring fever. Since there's nowhere to tie down boats (because its on pavement) we tie all the boats, side by side, to each others trap wires to help keep from flipping over if a storm comes along. We bookend the boats on either side by a trailer.

Well, on the Thursday night before the race, my boat was stuck between Trey's boat and Brett's boat - when a tornado came across the lake.

Apparently Brett's spinnaker came out of its bag and was partially flogging in the breeze and dragged his boat on its attached cushions. I had mine on throwable PFD's... so when his boat dragged, his bottom protection was still in place, but mine came off its pads and was dragged about... 3 feet.
