We have been stuck on board and out of the rain for the last couple of days and the forecast is for more of the same for the next couple of days. They are also predicting some gale force winds as well. We all know what those North East winds can do to this part of the lake.
I'm sure some of the people that only use their boats on the weekend will be very disappointed with that forecast and may even cancel their plans and stay home. But, I wouldn't advise that.
If you value your boat at all, I'd want to be here to protect it. The winds over night on Saturday night into Sunday morning are predicted to reach 70 km an hour, from the North East. Which means you want to at least double check your lines and fenders.
We are going to be keeping a close eye on ours.
Well, It's very early Sunday morning and we have all fared very well. The wind is still howling, but the saving grace has been the fact that the "Northeast" wind predicted for overnight has come mainly from the "East" so the water levels in the harbour have not risen much above what they were late yesterday.
