That's cool, where were you when you saw it?

[BND]

Waterspouts are pretty common but we've never seen one, which I'm fine with. They're tornadoes and just as dangerous as the ones on land.

Wow!

M y wife saw a water spout from the Freedom once, I missed it.

sorry I hadn't used a photo here before, it was last Tuesday between coco quay and san juan. we were just coming out of some rain and it appeared, seemed to last at least 5 minutes, it was off the port side. the water sparkled under it and it looked very cool

[UNV-IT!!!]

Very cool. I'm hoping for smooth sailing on my TA but you never know with the open ocean

At least from what I have read, they TEND to be not as dangerous. Most of them break up easy if they contact anything solid.

As an avid boater and fisherman in the Florida Keys, I(we) have seen many, one or two close up. Me to wife, get the camera a once in a life time experience, NO NO, I'm not getting out of the cabin LOL. A speedy boat can easily avoid one.

On our last months cruise on the Freedom, a lot of water spouts occurred as we were getting to leave, Grand Cayman, some one on the ship actually used the intercom to tell cruisers it was there. I do believe they actually held the ships departure/position until the storm died away.

Thx picture not real good it looked awesome but at a distance. I guess the sun was able to go down the middle as the water was really bright where it touched
