This photo was taken about twenty years ago while crossing the gulf stream delivering a boat from Bermuda to Connecticut.  This is one of nine funnel clouds we saw that day.  Best guess at the time was the tornado was inside of a mile away.  This photo was the last on the roll of film that I had.  Shortly after this picture was taken it started to rain heavily and visability dropped to less than a hundred yards.  Not having a clue where the waterspout was, we dogged down all the hatches and I couldn’t help wondering about the wisdom of the heavily lashed liferaft to the backside of the companionway ladder.  A sharp knife is a good thing to have.  Obviously everything was ok except for not havung any film left to shoot the Russian listening ship drifting with antennae bristling as we passed buy the next day on our way north.  A.S.
