We really got clobbered last night....lots of boats knocked off their
moorings, dragged and a few sunk....It was a bad day for a lot of
people.
Look at this C&C(?) being towed away after it dragged it's mooring
(which then fouled another boat and snapped) and hit the bridge!

Happens here a bit.
Trouble is people don't secure that furler properly..they just leave
it in the cleat.
A big blow come thru, headsail unfurls and pretty soon the boat just
sails off with her mooring.
