It was an interesting combo today enjoying a soft ice (late October!) while beast Ashley played some fluctuating harmonies in forte-fortissimo. It is the first named storm of the autumn.
Dublin Bay Buoy is not only the first mark for boats heading into Dublin Harbour but also provides actual weather readings. It is less than three nautical miles away from our position.
Gusts of 59kn got recorded during the evening hours with average wind of 40kn. Flights got cancelled, power losses reported, flooding expected. The Lady took it without emotions, nicely secured in a spider network of multiple mooring lines.
Nevertheless, we will all be glad once the worst is over around midnight.
Fair winds…
