even in the relative shelter of St Kats, we were up all night triple checking everything each time we heard a suspect noise - I guess we are not used to the boat yet.
HOWEVER - Artemis was knocked over on the hard at Fambridge. :-(
My own fault I suspect as I hadn't had time to lay her up properly and the hood was up, and the sails were still on. I was hoping that as the main is furled in mast that it would be protected and I had lashed it and the headsail. The yard said she looks ok, just a bit like an old donkey having a lay down. They will pick her up later and I'll go and check her out later in the week.
Interestingly, it was only bilge keelers that fell over. I suppose the fin-keelers have good props all round whereas the bilge keelers tend to be left to their own device...
