The wind has abated but there was hail as well as rain yesterday so I was not ready for the selvage job. Today however has calmed and the aftermath was visible on the beach. It seems a boat or yacht has come afoul of that weather, as we went looking for the barrel. It had moved 20 metres but we also found the remains of a washing machine and a large section of rubber matting that has been ripped from the deck. This stuff has screws both sides every 4 cm for its entire length of 6 metres. It must have been some wind to get that loose. The barrel was bad enough to get up the hill but we went back for the matting as we could not leave it bouncing in the water, especially with sharp screws. I have seen this sort of thing before and if you don't get it in a floating state then next time it will be buried under a lot of sand. That's my workout for today.
