These photos and report just in from
Pete Safe of Horseshoe Bay. Pete says the winds were forecast
for 35 knots but with the 40% variance that the weather bureau
allows it was risky to leave vessels on the hook. Sure enough,
it maxed at 90 kms or almost 50 knots last night. A problem some
boaties have in the area is a shortage of safe haven as marina
berths are undersupplied in Townsville nearby.
Located in Hervey bay, the wind outside
as I write is picking up. Offices of TCP are about 300 metres
from the bay. |
