Yacht Aground in Portsmouth Harbour.

[DJE]

I've been out to the mooring to check up after the storm and I noticed a yacht approx. 40ft long which has been driven aground high up on the marshes North of Pewit Island. Couldn't get anywhere near it as I only had a rowing dinghy and the tide was falling fast. Approximate postion as below. Probably came adrift from the Hardway SC moorings during Sunday night's storm. Sorry I don't have any more details.

I was there-abouts this morning and it looks like someone is on the case as it's got an anchor line to the bow to stop it going any further. I imagine it'll be pulled off the mud at a higher tide later in the week. It seems quite happy nestling in the salt grass - from what I could see, no harm done.

God I hope it's not mine - she was in her cradle last time I saw her

Baby boat is it? Maybe gypsies involved.

I sincerely doubt gypsies, more like the storm Sunday night and a yacht from the Hardway SC or the Gosport Boatyard trots broke her moorings and sallied forth northwards.

She's not there this morning so hopefully no harm done.

Not Gypsies? Must have been the yacht fairy.
