Not a good start to the year

Description

As you have probably heard we are having heavy rain, strong gusty winds & floods. I don't know who owns this boat that was moored in front of our local yacht club, but I do know that won't be happy when they see this, hopefully they were not staying on it for the holidays!! Forecasts predict the rain should ease today & head for New Zealand.

Not a happy sight Chris! We have sure had a huge amount of rail lately!
After the first 7 days of 2016 I have managed to post 2 images on BP! #1646477

Oh, my...this really captures the damage and loss extreme weather can bring, Chris. Glad you're getting some relief, but sorry for New Zealand! #11420705

Thanks for the comments. I still don't know who owned this boat but they are OK & were put up in the local caravan park, after they were quick enough to get ashore before she went down. I've heard on the 5th Feb the KMYC is putting on a fundraiser to help out the owners. #11421077
