View across the Outer Harbour of Stornoway

Monday 15 September

Hurricane Odile made landfall near Cabo San Lucas, at the southern tip of the peninsula of Baja California, at 0445 GMT this morning (that's around 9pm local) with maximum sustained winds of 110 knots or 130 mph. The storm will pass along the entire length of the peninsula, and will finally die at the northern end of the Sea of Cortez, which separates Baja from mainland Mexico. I expect that the southwestern USA will see a lot of rain from this system at the end of the week. 

Sunny but not windless in Stornoway. Mercury up to 16C, so another lovely day in store. And it'll carry on like that through the week, until Friday. I think - and hope.
 
I do not understand this. It is well known that Stornoway gets 18 ft tides at the equinoctial high tides, so that should have been factored into the design of the pontoons...
