A Belgian yacht was rescued after having broken adrift off Culatra. The Capitania said that this happens a dozen or so times every winter when the owners have returned home and advises anyone leaving for more than a week to inform the authorities so that they can be contacted in such a case.
It's well known that the holding in the Ria is only moderate.
