I left JWD yesterday due to the high wind forecast. Hopefully lines and fenders secure but another vote of thanks to the staff.

My berth is D36.

It's quite normal to be windy around the autumnal equinox, which falls on the 23rd September this year.

Cruise ship blown off Greenock dock. Apparently stern lines failed. Tugs scrambled to go fetch her back.

On Facebook there is a post about some boats on the shore from the moorings at Fairlie.
Also on Facebook Kip report that the staff are checking boats:
'Our guys have been out doing their checks and will continue to do so throughout the day. If there is any problem with your boat we will contact you.'

That happens so often that I suspect the local paper keeps it preset as a macro.
