Storm St Jude


It was no typhoon but, by our standards, a fairly big storm.  These pictures show the moments when the worst of the storm passed over the Orwell.  The weather report from Harwich suggested F10 gusts.
The owner of the upturned boat in the second picture must have been licking wounds afterwards.
Daisy II and three other Drascombes were just upstream from these pictures, and all survived unscathed.

 Many thanks to one of the local Drascombe owners for sending me these pictures.
