David, the ground there is level enough to play cricket on but I see your point; it is possible she is lying on the edge of the bank.
Allan, re the weather; it is forecast to start getting a bit tasty tomorrow evening, with the wind gradually strengthening over the coming days, winding up at 20kts plus by Thursday. It gets even fresher in the days that follow, perhaps as high as 30kts.
And of course, the tide is starting to drop after Thursday.
