Blown away in Hout Bay

Some boats did take damage but often this is down to old canvas which should have been tended to long ago.

Our marina is very well built but took strain with this one.

Slightly deflated but ok.

Now I dont want to put anyone off but it can get windy in the cape,Hout Bay especially,its an easterly wind,we have seen them come and go over the last thirty years or so.The one that hit two days back was a beauty,some say seventy nine
knots (79),I was down at my own boat first thing in the morning to check my mooring lines,as my wind speed indicator only reads to 50 knots I never bothered opening the boat to check wind speed,it was off the clock for sure.
