smokinjoe Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Well headed wide today, not long out of Botany and the water was a beautiful blue but only around 18c. Wind a light ene, swell about 1mtre. Went to the first fad and had to laugh saw a couple of lures hanging of it. Absolutely NO action bird wise so decided to head ne. Saw two albies and some mutton birds doing laps so decided to investigate, Water went funny as some surface action was boiling raised something but only briefly, tried to find the bait ball but it went off. Looked down Sth to see an awesome front forming so we decided to run in quick, took some great photos of it moving up. Thats it nice day on the water!

sleepy Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Nice picture there mate... yeah we got caught by that same front later on up at port stephens .had four on board my cruise craft 575 we were out about 8 ks south of the carpark when we noticed it . the weather forcast was for a late north change but nothing re a southerly/ southwest change . it hit us 30 ks out after having bolted flat out for as long as we could . heavy, lightning everywhere, rain going sideways wind 35 - 40 knots. got everyone into life jackets straight away pulled out the e perb and radioed coast guard with our location. lucky it passed over within 45 mins. came out other side blue skys and light ne winds wow .... great test for the new boat . checked the internet the next day and sure enough winds were clocked at gusts 90- 100 ks .
