Not Again !

What a day, 

First was the telephone call telling be my boat was on the move!  Whoa Thats 70 odd knots of wind blowing through the bay and dragging Half a ton of metal across the sea bed.  I needed to get to her to see if she had sustained any damage whilst going past another boat.  Fortunately a RIB from the sailing club was available with several volunteers to help if I needed.

Cutting a long story short I and two others got to the boat and were in the process of relocating on a heavier mooring when disaster struck.   I slipped in my new boots and ended up in a pile on the cockpit floor with my hip dislocated again.  (fourth time)

The RNLI were soon on scene and the situation bought back under control.  I was transferred to Hospital. Friends took my boat to Poole.
