Re: Antipodean Boats Connection
I had a look at our sailing club beach last week, more sand but the edge into deep water is a small cliff. I'm taking Anne to choir this arvo and I'll have another look after this blow. The wind is straight up the N/S estuary.Comment

Windy here too. Gusts up to 50. But Montague Is and Lord Howe have gusts over 60 so not as windy here as it could be. Not really cold here yet though. Stay warm Jeff!

Re: Antipodean Boats Connection
Blowing a gale here still, the Inverloch surf beach is a mess as half the primary dune, some 8m tall, has washed away leaving a falling almost vertical wall of sand eroding more at every tide. There is talk of an artificial reef, thousands of tons of sand are 'reclaimed' each low tide to no effect and some experimental sand fences and stone groins are destroyed within a few days of construction. All a bit too late, the problem is not new as the sea and the river move again. The dunes are ephemeral, legal tiles and expensive housing not so but powerless against the waves. The SLSC is also the ambulance station and a few other services as well. It will be lucky to survive another 12 months and anyhow may be stranded if the road, also under threat, disappears..Last edited by skuthorp; 08-09-2019, 04:17 AM.Comment

When I first joined WBF they made me write a book to prove I was a real yachty. I was so gullible.Comment

Re: Antipodean Boats Connection
The one in the top photo looks to be on the rocks, to me. I think I'd rather be on the beach. I think both boats are on the northern shore but I can't tell where.
