There has been a lot of lifting and storage of boats this last few weeks - I was at the boat last Sunday and there were lots of empty moorings!

I wouldnt be surprised if that 5 goes up somewhat and there will be a lot more badly damaged too. I was going to get them to do my outdrive service but they were pretty booked up for the next month or so.

Although we are around the corner at WMV I hope everyone at Aquatics is ok!

Place looks a mess and is still cordoned off by H & S because of asbestos roof, so staff unsure of number of boats totalled, but probably won't be more than first thought, although others will have smoke and water damage. Inflatables all melted though and both toilet block and boatshed may be beyond repair. Source of ignition is thought to be from a short circuit in a fairly new fridge in the workers' rest room. Luckily no-one hurt in the incident.
