In Russian there's a special word for such an occasion — "pizdariki". It's about some unpredictable unfortunate destructive event.

Weather gods decided that sitting still is too good for me and sent me a classic squall. 30+knots of wind, wall of water from the sky and following waves of meter and a half.

Also at the first breath of that squall another boat pulled out my anchor by their one, so I had a few very exciting minutes trying not to get hit by them and the catamaran behind me. Sorry, no video, but you can trust me. :)

And, for the cherry on top, the gust threw my dinghy overboard and now it's hanging there in a very inconvenient way. I have to hack the way to pull it back.
