Marina
It was the worst
winter here for 20+ years (just our luck!) Lots of wind and rain.
The worst storm hit in January with winds in excess of 60 knots.
Follow the link below to see video footage, taken at the marina entrance, during
the storm.
Scott-Free was
safely wrapped up in her plastic tent with her unstepped mast in store, and we
were warm and dry in the apartment on this particular occasion. Only two
plastic tents were left intact after this storm, and ours was one of them.
One very large semi-permanent tent was blown apart, with damage to
three boats, otherwise there was only minor damage to boats as they
rocked and rolled on their moorings.
Credit is due to the
marineros who were active throughout the storm looking after the boats - most of
whose owners had gone home - thus minimising damage.
