Weather Bulletin

The Blokes's Suunto watch with inbuilt barometer is flashing "Storm Alert". I guess all that yanking on the mooring leads and screeching in the rigging means something after all. The watch also has an audible alarm if the pressure drops rapidly between it's half hourly polling. Yup, it's been singing too.

984 hPa and dropping?

All the mooring leads have been inspected and extra ones added as a precaution. The Bloke witnessed a water spout in the bay and the butcher reported waves lapping over the sea wall and onto the marine promenade at high tide.

This isn't localised bad weather. We have heard that the Kangaroo Island ferry between the mainland and Penneshaw has been cancelled for today and a yacht anchored off the town beach in Port Lincoln was washed ashore. The latter does not come as a surprise.

The beach outside PLYC.
 It's a surprise that it didn't wash up a few weeks ago.

Even the Shags and Terns are unimpressed.
We think these must be the young ones as there are even more hunkering down this evening.
