The weather is usually dull and it is quite windy. We manage to pass the tower without incidents. The first time we passed it (the 2001 odyssey) the left roof hatch blew into the sea. The rescue operation lasted for about 15 minutes.
The toll officers probably had their day’s laugh as we were circling the floating hatch trying to get the boat into position for grabbing and lifting it up. The boat has a long keel and the turning radius is probably around 50 meters so precise positioning, especially in strong wind, is not easy.
