Shotley's blog says that they plan to drop the water level in the marina tonight to lessen the effect of the wind.

Took mine off yesterday.
I doubt that I really needed to, but I was down to double the lines so, for the sake of half an hour's effort, I removed anything that could flap.
Jeez, I only launched on Monday 2nd December - the Great Surge followed on Thursday/Friday, now the Great Storm :ambivalence: . What's next?

Drove to Plymouth today through the worst of it, not much traffic but quite a few wobbly lorries and M5 down to 20 mph in heavy rain.

No, why bother? It'll likely be taken off for you by the wind and save you the trouble!
Shotley is fairly protected from S-SW winds by the Ganges hillside.

What's next? Dunno, but can you lay up soon please?
You've obviously pissed off the weather gods.
Think of all the people denied decent sailing weather because of you.
