Six boats have crashed into me in the past 3 hours, scraping and bouncing all the way down the length of the boat. The wind is too strong for occasional- and hire-boaters but it doesn't stop them, so they get blown into me as they clear the trees.
I want to move but the strong wind also means I cannot move the boat. There are 2 boats immediately ahead of me and I could never clear them.
