Hopefully no-one here - but someone who was looking forward to a good day is now very unhappy.

Hopefully the boat was OK ? Cars & trailers are pretty simple to replace compared to boats. Was the traffic bad as a result ?

The RIB was badly displaced on the trailer, ridden up and to one side, not sure why. Everyone looked ok. No traffic as it was about 7:45am!
