We had force 9 winds this morning but much better to be in the harbour than at sea. Even in the bay, we had good sized waves with white caps. I heard that some ferry sailings were cancelled.
A bit of damage to Eidos from hitting the pontoon - the teak trim ripped off. But having big fenders helped. We also had help from the crew of a neighbour's boat. They loaned us two fenders and helped when one of the shrouds came out of the fitting. Also, we threw the fortress anchor out to keep us away from the pontoon. Unfortunately, a shackle on the anchor chain snapped and I had to call a diver to find the anchor.
It is now early afternoon and the wind is finally dying so after a short walk, the crew and skipper can rest.
