Zephyr's new Mooring system!

Following the Tidal Surge I have replaced the ground tackle with some modifications.
I have placed in further up the bank, more in the mud than in the sand. I have also incorporated the large flint block and cement bucketed weight to give the whole thing more resilience:

Mooring in place - Zephyr still on her borrowed mooring. (moved next day)

First view of storm aftermath

I'm guessing the red line is the level reached this year.

Wayfarer beached on bank opposite duck pond

Major breach by new steps

Boatpark. This bank is where Audrey kept her Solo and where we kept our boats until they put chains everywhere

End of the path for Rik

Mary was not sure this bench was safe

Broken railings where some boats floated through to the Blakeney Hotel carpark

Path to Morston

View from Mariners Hill.
 Zephyr safely on the path!

Baling out Zephyr

I bailed/siphoned out Zephyr the best I could. I also added another mooring line. I wish I'd appreciated the Tidal Surge was imminent as I might have let her run on a longer line - pulled her further up the bank. I reckon it was partially the buoyant upwards force that ripped out the ground tackle.
