The boat is on a dry mooring in Christchurch near Bornemouth or Poole in Dorset.
Maybe he can't un-hitch it from the back of his motor?

What's a "dry mooring"? A trailer?

I find it's not too bad once you've sifted the lumps out of it!

Looks like you got out just in time, calm before the storm. Wind speed at the pierheads has gone from 1 knot to 20 knots and I just heard a mayday relay from Cross Corsen  35 knots by midnight

We're getting severe weather warnings for tonight here. I hauled out the SR this morning and tucked it away in the garage, rather than take a battering in the marina.

I got back in from Carteret a couple hours ago, the only boats left out there were our "hirsute" cousins seemingly blissfully unaware of whats coming

SR4 in the marina? Has that trailer got the better of you?

1 rescued, 2 missing according to Fal coastguard on Radio Cornwall a few mins ago.
The severe weather missed us in the end. Just had the rain.

I think we were lucky with our window of weather yesterday afternoon. There was still a fair breeze and fog up in Alderney when we left, but once past the Ecrehoes the sea flattened out and it was eerily calm. The rain also stopped which was nice, especially after suffering an hour of being battered by needles of water and poor vis.
I registered 31 knots at home last night. A very sharp rise and then fall of wind, most odd.
