The 7:30 ferry ride was quite eventful.

When we arrived at the dock, two huge cracks of thunder over the front beach convinced us to ride the ferry instead taking our own powerboat.

Captain Al Kemp pointed out that there were 7 Roseatte Spoonbills just over the oyster shell berm on the Mount Pleasant side (North side) of the Intracoast Waterway about 300 yards before you reach the no wake bouys.  We started to run upstairs to get a better view.

Before reached the top dock, the loudspeaker boomed with Captain Al’s voice, “Reggie, there’s a waterspout just off the port bow!  See it?”  I was still thinking about the Spoonbills and had a hard time shifting my focus.  When I did, this is what I saw:

We could see the bottom of the funnel clouds swirling.  Fortunately, the waterspout dissipated while we watched.
