Storm's Eunice and Franklin brought with them strong winds - just ask Wightlink's FastCat.
Footage shows a mooring on Wight Ryder 1 snapping, as it attempts to berth at Ryde Pier Head.
The video was captured by Matthew Chatfield, as the 4.45pm sailing from Portsmouth came into dock on Sunday (20).
Posting on Twitter, he said the vessel managed to safely berth on its fifth attempt.
He said:
"Impressive work by Wightlink Ferry crew to get everyone safely home!"
See (and hear) the moment the mooring lines snap as Wight Ryder 1 attempts to berth at Ryde Pier Head.

A spokesperson for Wightlink said:
"A mooring line parted in a strong gust of wind on arrival at Ryde Pier Sunday afternoon.
"The crew successfully berthed the FastCat shortly afterwards."
