Can't remember when I last saw the likes of this in the Solent. Just hope the cradle holds up!

Gusting 75mph at Portland. I hope my cradle holds up too although I did manage to get the boat absolutely level the other day.
Ooo. I see blue sky behind the horizontal leaves.

I thought I heard on Radio 4 that there was a gust of 95mph somewhere on the Isle of Wight - I thought they said Yarmouth but couldn't be sure. ANyone else hear it?

This is Pulpit Rock (at Portland Bill) taken just after 11:30 am. I think the tide hadn't really started ebbing at that time, but there were still some good waves battering the rocks.
Not a good day for the inshore passage methinks!

Here's one of the crane just to the North East of the Bill. At 8:30am, when we got there, it wasn't as rough as I'd hoped, but the wind did increase from then on. This was taken at about 9:30am, when I think the tide was close to the top of the flood.
It was a shame that by the time the tide was ebbing, and the wind really howling, some major squalls came through bringing torrential rain.

Thanks for the great pictures. It saves me going down to look myself.
