We have had a huge storm early this week, had some gusts recorded of 200km/hr!, Wellington is a complete mess around the coast.
One of the large inter-island ferries broke her moorings and needed the help of 2 tugs to hold her while she was able to take over under her own power holding her own in the middle of the harbour.
I had to go and check my boat at the marina, all a bit dramatic, boats with broken moorings and blown out Genoa's, that had unfurled, that was only along my pier,
One of my stern lines was looking a bit stressed but I was able to get an extra line around the stern pile with the aid of a fender that I floated, Read, blown around the pile and then tied to the Port stern cleat.
All a bit tricky...
The picture of the Ketch (above) was next to me, when I was on the hard last week while my boat was being anti fouled and new anode fitted.
Luckily I was now back in the water in the relative safety of the marina.
