Many thanks to Avalon Marine Police, Officer “Ski” who assisted us, the Avalon Yacht Club’s Flying Scot Fleet during Saturday afternoon’s storm that hit the island without much warning with gale force winds forcing lifeguards to close the beaches and causing many Flying Scots to overturn. You and the US Coast Guar’s presence keeper other boaters away at a safe distance allowed us to right our boats with assistance from other boaters and get towed back to our north marina safely. No one was hurt or worse in what could have been a disastrous situation.
