Oops!

Not to worry though...

There were no reported injuries and it hit mainly mobos....

Incidentally...

If you enlarge the photo and look at the bottom RH corner you will have an idea of the number of logs you find floating around in the water. You definitely want a steel boat around here.

Lucky the skipper wasn't at T200 then... or maybe, judging by some accounts, he was!

If you look at photo 5, it is clear that at least one piling of the marina is done for. The infrastructure damage might be as much as any boats destroyed.

Bit unfair if he lost power & steerage. At least he had the good sense to sound a warning

Agree with you there Tome. It seems that a refit of sorts has been done recently so, if the captain's hung out to dry, there should be a few dockyard mateys pegged out on the same line alongside him.

The ferries are symmetrical with bridges and engines at each end. Difficult to see how all would fail.
