Yesterday the 12th of June I decided finally to change the main sheet and the main rail rope to the new ones.
In the morning I went to the Yacht and measured the ropes. Then went to the local rope-shop and purchased the ropes. Came home and stitched the eyes and ended the new ropes. Then went to the docs and noticed that I watched my yacht on the different view than normally. It seemed that the pontoons chain has failed. The wind was quite high actually blowing gale force 20+ m/s.
Immediately we got one rope to the free buoy next of the docks and with the help of firemen we attached the ropes to two other buoys and also we dropped an extra anchor to support the docks.
The same afternoon we heard the news that in Volvo-Suursaari race (offshore race)
90 % of the competitors had cancelled the race.
On Monday we hopefully get some repairs to the dock.
