You could see the hull starting to hog on the sand.We then got battered by a severe hail storm down there, while several of us sheltered under a towies tilt tray.imageThat night it went ashore we recorded 98kn wind gusts through our rigging with the Forgacs' floating dock, opposite the marina breaking loose from it's fixed mooring. 2 tugboat sat all night managing to hold it in position.What a mess.
