Number 2 seems to have been secured by some people out on the yacht and the pier earlier.

Number 3 just being pushed onshore on the Miramar cam.

Default storms

Reminds me of the storm years ago (must be around 15-20), we arrived the week after it happened and as we walked along the front there was a small yacht laying on its side in the front garden of the apartments next to the chemist near the old El Ancla. Bearing in mind how far that is from the sea you can only imagine the force needed to have done that.

I see on the webcam they are still having trouble moving the yachts in the port.

Come on Madam "S". don't you think it's high time you nipped down and gave them a push.
