tie your boats down

   .......nothing really compared to the carnage we had down at Queen Anne's Battery. Loads of yachts stacked up on each other and a few brand new, never sailed 40 footers got the worst of it. The pictures on Y&Y don't really capture how surreal it looked.

	Not too worried about the Gareloch, we're sailing out of Plymouth Sound but sailing as members of HSC out of Port .... Reckon the chances of a container coming in past the breakwater won't be too high and the relevant port authorities and Coastguard will be on top of things. Still a bit of a concern though, stray container and any type of boat don't generally tend to mix.

	Hmm, would post pictures of 3 Solo's piled ontop of each other and a 5 tonner on its side (the wind was that strong?) if the forum was working properly... True about the containers - although they've probably not made it all the way up to the Gareloch yet! Would make a mess of a 49er at full tilt downwind though. Edited by combat wombat

	Not so bothered about the weather now, more worried about containers lurking slightly below the water surface in our area now.
