Where did all the boats go?

Normally our pontoons support a healthy population of boats, following the dictum that a wharf (or pontoon) abhors a vacuum.

This week it is strangely empty.

There is an explanation: Saturday night’s westerly gale sent it off on little wander into the river. Fortunately the safety chain held, and by Sunday afternoon everything was back in order, with the boats distributed (unharmed) on moorings and in mud berths along the shore. We had much better luck than Leeuwin.
