I went over Hayling bridge tonight on the way to meeting up with Jim at the Barley Mow. It looks like the HM tug has been pulled away from the bridge, but it looks trapped in that lagoon between the bridge and the Billy line pilings. The gap between the pilings looks too narrow for the tug to get through. It looks like it was swept over the pilings by the wind and storm surge tide during the storm. I'm not sure when the next tide will be that gives enough clearance to do the return journey!<br /><br />There are quite a few unfortunate boat owners after Sunday Night/Monday morning. The one at the top of the Eastern Rd is looking particularly sad already.Mark The Skint Sailorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04892877003107509621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8520947795617471707.post-44164221777219609632016-03-30T13:38:19.836+01:002016-03-30T13:38:19.836+01:00Miles - the weather, in my opinion, is getting mor...Miles - the weather, in my opinion, is getting more extreme - I'm no environmental expert but it does seem that this winter has been spectacularly stormy here on the south coast... either way, good move, just renewed mine a few weeks ago - happily, I'm not going to need to use it....Steve-the-Wargamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077311120172727690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8520947795617471707.post-51466853506206606822016-03-30T12:14:29.836+01:002016-03-30T12:14:29.836+01:00Yikes - I'm glad the damage to the mast appear...Yikes - I'm glad the damage to the mast appears light<br />I think I'll renew my boat insurance a little early after reading this!jmilesrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17961624317410579611noreply@blogger.com
