Lagoon 44 Delivery Turns Dangerous: Waterspouts, Flipped Boats & 30+ Knot Winds on ONE Engine

Join me as I team up with Steve, the owner of a Lagoon 44 Sail Catamaran, for a delivery trip from Bradenton, FL to Tarpon Springs for repairs and haul out. What began as a calm, one-engine cruise turned into a wild ride when we hit one of the worst summer storms just before Anclote Key.
🌪️ The storm produced multiple waterspouts, flipped nearby vessels, and made headlines across boating communities in Florida. It was a surreal moment — navigating through chaos while trying to keep everything under control aboard a partially disabled catamaran.
🛥️ Despite the storm, this overnight trip was full of laughs, great food, and good company. We anchored out under the stars, grilled steaks, and shared stories — the kind of sailing experience that makes all the craziness worth it.
📍Trip Details:
Vessel: Lagoon 44 SailCat
Route: Bradenton to Tarpon Springs, FL
