This is a little off-topic, but all glider pilots are interested in weather,
right? Yes, there can be lift over the ocean, but not the kind you'd want to
fly in! This weekend we were camping at a Southern California beach, and a
building thunderstorm went by about 2-3 miles offshore. This storm generated
about 7 waterspouts that we could see! I got some great pictures... check
out a few athttp://rogersoaring.blogspot.com/


Nothing off-topic about that...nice pictures.
