The bridge is still there- I've just been down to boatie and walked across it. The tide is still on the ebb but there is a river like flow into the marina from the lagoon..... The wind has eased here in the last hour and I hope it dies right down before next high tide tonight.

My sprayhood was looking like letting go so it's lowered and lashed down.

Claymore looks chust fine.

At least the sea state looks calm enough.

It is in Loch Graignish but looks pretty mental out in the Firth of Lorne. If it hadn't been such a 5h1t day I'd have walked to the point to look at the Dorus.

My boat broke free of some of her lines on the pontoon but thanks to the Ardfern staff disaster was averted. I've now got 8 lines to the pontoon. Ouch. Huge credit to Mark and the team (Maitland and Dondie were sorting lines out on Christmas Eve). Thanks to all.
