Here is a view of Kingston yard in Cowes last week, the day before Spring Fever was due to be brought ashore.
Violent winds knocked over one of the biggest boats in the yard, which suffered a huge dent in its aluminium hull; part of a cradle went right through the skin. The big boat seems to have brought down a smaller boat next to it and in the process a trimaran was dismasted.
Grateful thanks to the yard for clearing it up in time to get us ashore very efficiently this week, only three working days late. We were there for a quick inspection and to arrange for some electrical work to be done.
