This monster was chasing us down while sailing in the Bahamas, just as the sun was rising. It’s hard to describe the feeling when you see one. If one of these hits your boat, it’s total devastation. It followed us for what felt like an eternity. We use the same wind to escape that the storm was generating, so it was a game of slow-motion cat and mouse. Back in the pandemic, we encountered multiple waterspouts at dusk while sailing down to find refuge in Grenada. The winds were far too strong, and the weather systems were closing in on us too quickly for me to even consider photographing them before getting all the sails down. It was a stark reminder that nature’s beauty and fury are inseparable. Amazing to be able to finally capture one and do that feeling justice.
