Another move late Thursday and put Tweed in a berth on the other side of the finger, two berths away from the main jetty. She has been stripped bare of canvas and headsails - the mainsail has been strapped tightly to the boom - and all is in readiness for Typhoon Songda. At this stage it has been downgraded to Cat 3 as it rapidly starts to decay. It should be a Cat 2 by late tonight when it is expected to pass about 140 km to our west. Up until late yesterday it still looked to be headed straight for us but continued a little further north before changing to NE which puts it to our west. That is a bit of good news at least.
All the lines have
been doubled up and of course there are more than we would normally use. We also have two off the bow going across to the other side of the fairway. A lot of the other boats in the marina have done this, making it look like a giant spiderweb! It's too late for any latecomers now.
