Jewhunter Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 It sounds like everyone is safe & sound thank goodness. It also sounds like the harbour got a bit angry today. A timely reminder for all to take care on the water. Especially when a blowy change is coming through. Cheers, Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a fair dinkum washing machine about 3pm and caught a lot of boaties unawares. There was some desperate scurrying for cover.

There was some desperate scurrying for cover. i'm sorry but i can not see how it caught some boaties unawares the boaties caught out in it stuffed up and didn't check the weather before heading out i was out off coffs harbour yesterday and the VMR up there every hour was putting out the bullton about the change that was expected to hit sydney in the afternoon and the north coast later that night southly winds to 30 knots edit i also found it strange last night while watching the news how they were talking about the unexpected change that came though sydney that was so unexpected that the BOM was posting reports 24hours before it hit Edited October 6, 2007 by Basserman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reel_success Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 i must agree i knew that a change was coming through, however the media plays up the story like it is a freak change causing huge problems. it was just a few sailors capsizing and a bystander called 000 and the news.
