Sunday 10th October
Today it just gets worse. The weather forecast issued by BOM at 3.00pm today says it all.
“ Southeast Coast Waters, Double Island Point to Point Danger:
A gale warning is current.
Sunday until midnight: Wind: SE 30/40 knots, tending more E'ly late afternoon
and evening. Sea: 3 to 4 metres. Swell: E/SE 2.5 to 3 metres. Rain areas and
isolated thunderstorms with squalls to 50 knots.
Monday: Wind: E/SE 34/40 knots, easing to 25/33 knots during the evening. Sea:
3.5 to 4 metres. Swell: E/SE 3 metres. Rain areas and isolated thunderstorms
with squalls to 50 knots. “
Suffice to say no-one has ventured too far from their boat today. I have doubled up all of the mooring lines.
The forecast was pretty accurate. We were onboard most of the day watching the Bathurst 1000, Commonwealth games and a DVD.
We heard on the news that they had measured winds of 106 km/hr and 9 m seas off Cape Morton, so it will be a few days more before we leave here, Thursday looks most likely.
