Well it fairly lived up to expectations judging from the weather station readouts - gusts of up to 70 knots plus in the Thames Estuary area. The live webcam at the yacht station doesn't give a great view of the river but what could be seen looked rough as hell
A friends yacht ashore in the yard was blown over along with two others and, most worryingly, there are vague reports of a blue hulled yacht ashore against the sea wall
We've not heard anything from the marina so we're praying it isn't Erbas ...
My name is Adam I work at fambridge yacht haven and I am saddend to say it was erbas that went adrift however me and my crew managed to bring her back to safety and tired up on another trot. I do believe you have no reason to panic and she is very safe but please feel free to contact me and I can talk you through. Kind regards Adam Coleman 07949715919
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for the news Adam, it was a trying day not helped by the total failure of all my communications! I'll be in touch later
