Bitter east-north-easter in the Bay

Down in the bay it was 0.4°C, gusting 38mph ENE, with a feels like of -7°C. Bitter as sin. I found this crabbing gear washed in from a Boulogne boat - the Don Lubi II.  It says, 'Boat Don Lubi II. Being repaied. Do not move. The port authority has been notified.'

 

But how did they know to write that 'the boat is being repaired' before they put the gear out? Preventative maintenance?

 

You can see a photo of the Don Lubi II here which is was at Dunkerque on 22nd Feb and did a little trip out to sea and back according to marinetraffic.com/AIS - see the screenshot below.

 

More photos of the Bay today here. Snow forecast for tonight.
