Tunisia ...
Well it's hitting us now , winds over night where above 60 mph and that's what we seen .
At the moment it's very wet , the big bins are being blown alone , part of the sea wall in the marina as been damaged . And one boat knocked partly off a trailer , two boat have had there sailed unfurled and there not much left of them . We expecting this to last till well in the evening before it starts to drop .

Hi vic. I guess that is where the sand is coming from. At least the wind will keep your decks clear. Take care.

Stay safe Vic, nice and calm here in Scotland. We didn't have a BBQ outside at the weekend, so roundabouts and swings I guess. I expect you'd still rather be in Tunisia.

Looks as if it will be about 45kts max. where we left our boat, and likely to be blowing along the coast. Hopefully less chance of anyone in the yard blowing over as wind will be up the stern.
