High speed horizontal rain

A very mixed bag, weather wise. Very high speed blustery wind carrying rain and perfectly symmetrical pure white hailstones. A certain non cruising day. We loaded the car with clothes and foodstuffs for the boat, which seemed to be remarkedly similar to how we had left it when we arrived early afternoon. The bike rack  which Dean had promised to fit was still in it's box next to the sink and the mains electrics were still connected,so no signs of repairs there. Apparently Eddie was off for the day but must have forgotten to mention it to us. Communication has never been his strong point, so all in all it was a wasted trip with the exception of loading the boat with food supplies and confirming the non boating weather first hand.
