Bob, Carey, Tom, myself shoved off at 1100. Light southerly breeze so we sailed to the Woodrow Wilson Bridge, turned around for a long run upriver. Weather alerts kept occurring on the UHF, a fast moving storm heading east with hail and high winds. We made it back to slip before a small segment of the system covered the marina. Yep, it hailed for about three minutes and rained for about ten, then the sun reappeared. John, next slip over, was on the water when the hail it. He was thankful for his broad brimmed hat!
