Gales with attitude!

Last nights storm was the third in two days and rolled in with a vengence. Pontoon cleats sheared off as mooring lines snatched bar-tight with the forces generated by the send (waves), that bent around the headland, and rolled in through the open south facing harbour entrance. Thankfully our preparations were sufficient. We suffered no more that a snapped shoreline and a poor nights sleep.

Windguru had forecast 50kts then ammended the prediction to 34kts. His first was more accurate!

Its raining now, but things are quietening down. Hopefully we will get away tomorrow.
