LaGmra Day 16 - Boat on water, Force 5 winds 09 Dec, 06 - 06.08

Miss Olive was put on water today at 10.30 am.
A few tense moments as the boat was lifted off dry docks on the crane and hit by Force 5 winds as it was being put into the water. We were promptly blown out to sea, with the wind hitting the boat beam on. Eventually had to be towed back in. Not a very good start to the day.
The weather has taken a turn for the worse overnight, with North-Easterly gale force winds averaging around 35 knots (near gale conditions). The low pressure front has moved in and looks like it will stay till Tuesday or Wed.
Hoping the storm center moves further North in the next few days. The weather is expected to get much worse tomorrow.
