I don't think statistics works quite like that...
You're right, Dave. We've had 2 "once in 40 years" storms in January and last May therefore it will obviously be 79 years until the next. Wish I'd thought of that before having my mooring fettled - what a waste of money!
I shall look forward to it. No doubt you can explain your hypothesis that if the world was turned upside down, Dallens Bay would be a crap anchorage, over a glass of whisky? It may make more sense that way.
Cheers

Rhu Marina has had boats wrecked in gales regularly since the year it opened. Beats me why anyone ever leaves a boat there,
