Better afloat than ashore in high winds, imho
I might even be o/b

That's OK. It'll be blowing us off the pontoon. We've been on board with 58 knots without a problem.

I should be blowing me off also, but the marina is rather exposed if there is much North in the wind.

Anyway all lines have been trebled up so hopefully all will be OK. A couple of boats would benefit from some attention to thier lines so the owners have been informed (rather too difficut to properly sort out in last night's conditions while alone and in the dark last night).

We face 030 degrees so anything from around N to SSW means we heel over 'onto' the pontoon.
That said, any decent breeze means other folks' halyards etc banging and rattling....

Wait until you get on board.
Suggest you have lots of bits of string available - or a leatherman......
