Terrible news for boat owners in Holyhead, dozens of boats sunk or washed on to rocks, including charter boats My-Way, Spindrift, and Badboyz. https://twitter.com/minimekkit/status/969524480723816448/photo/1

Latest reports say no casualties, but 80 boats worth millions of pounds sunk or damaged, not only that, they were all carrying fuel oil, it could affect the marine life inside the harbour for a long time.

Gutted for them. I hope it doesn't pollute the area too badly either.

Shows it's not as sheltered inside the breakwater as I assumed it would be.

It seems that it`s the first time they`ve had a force 10 Easterly in living memory, I hope their insurance covers it.
