Watch the proverbial doo doo hit the fan about 3/4 the way through when the windline arrives.

Good illustration as to why you need to pay close attention to the weather... and take action before the bad stuff hits.

Or perhaps a youngster feeling a little out of control.

I wonder why they didn't alter course and avoid the line, seems they could have doubled back and missed the whole thing...

I believe they were on a delivery trip in a Bayfield 36... which is a pretty capable bluewater boat. No problem handling the conditions as long as they got their sails down... which they did in a big hurry.
At 7 kts I don't think they could have avoided the squall line anyway.

I'm not a habitual swearer, but I probably would have uttered a few choice words in that situation myself.

"Self-righteousness is responsible for all that is good in man... and all that is bad."

I've seen waterspouts when I've been out on fishing boats and they made me apprehensive, but I've never gotten that close to one.
