Tie your boats down well!

They forecast 'Old Boots' for tonight and tomorrow.

Hope all boats survive well

My boat lives in the garage. Great for the boat - bad for the car!!

If it blows away from there i'll be in a whole world of trouble

Im now feeling ever so glad we've left the B14 with the wings off! Might have been causing a UFO!
The laser is nice and sheltered behind the garrage and a wall.

I have a feeling it'd have to be very strong wind to shift my Finn, it's so bloody heavy. Still it's tied down anyway to the chain in the dinghy park just to be safe.

I have 1 Laser in my back garden, and 1 on the drive. Got no way of tying either boats down, so just crossing my fingers and hoping for the best!!!
