Thunder Storm

We took to our beds at about 10.30 last night, wind was blowing but not too bad, the occasional flash of lightning could be seen in the distance. At 12.30 the storm woke me up, lightning flashing all around and a strong wind to accompany the heavy rain. Couldn't resist to get up and have a look around, the harbour was illuminated by non stop lighting . We are on a swinging mooring tethered by a single line at the bow, the boat swings one way then the other through something like 90 degrees. It feels like the boat is trying to sail away from the mooring, first it tries one direction then another ,only  to be stopped by the mooring line. Like a naughty dog on a short lead the boat gets brought to heel by a jerk on the mooring line, occasionally that pull is quite violent and is felt right through the whole boat, but it's good to know we are not going anywhere, Vince's purchase of a new very large mooring pendant ( dog lead) is  most reassuring.

 Maybe we will see the sun tomorrow .
