deebee29 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Don't know what the wind speed is here at WRC but it's certainly wild. Really picked up around 3.30 and strong ever since, think we'll be staying put till it subsidies. No damage to the boat but the collapsable windscreen worked loose with a bang at dark o clock. Got up & secured it hope everyone afloat is ok 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gracie Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 All of you afloat please stay safe and don't forget your life jackets It's a nightmare here in East Sussex at the moment but still would much rather be afloat, I think if you take care and a bit of common sense it can be exciting in a storm, crossing Breydon with the boat riding the waves, heavenly Take care and stay safe what ever you're doing Grace 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranworthbreeze Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Here in Brundall we battened down last night, sadly not much sleep. Unless the wind dies down the boat will remain in the marina today, so it could be a train journey today. Regards Alan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CaptainJoshie Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Well we made it through the night! No real surprise there but it is still very windy here at the moment but at least the sun is out. Sutton Staithe Boatyard have been out clearing the reed islands that have drifted down the moorings, which is joly good of them. Only two boats has moved so far! guess the rest of us have some sense or fear . By the way MM NYX looks to be deserted, not seen anyone on or around the boat since we arrived! John.

MauriceMynah Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Thanks for keeping an eye out Captain Joshie, Bernie lives pretty close to the staithe and is often in the Hotel. He and his son will be using it on an ad hoc basis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
