How did you other Tassie sailors fare last night? We had a party on board in the marina yesterday afternoon and decided to stay on board last night. After a glorious 28 degree day the wind blew up overnight from the NW with gusts up to 47 knots at the nearby AWS on Bruny Island. So not a lot of sleep here, in what is normally a very sheltered marina. I was up around 3.30am tying extra docking lines to the boat as we were getting hammered from the beam, and it was still 25 degrees.

Reports of a boat breaking it's mooring at Tranmere near Hobart and also of a boat on a reef down in Research Bay (all safe). Does anyone have any details of the Research Bay event? Always useful to analyze these things for everyone's future safety.
