Hello Friends,
The Bureau says we’re almost certain to have showers today, but as of 0700 skies were partly cloudy with no obvious sign of precipitation. Wind was a steady 10-12 kts from the NNE when I climbed aloft to grab this morning’s snaps. Out at sea a few hours earlier, the MHL buoy was detecting 1.2 m of 7 sec ENE wind bump. Tide hits a 1.68 m high at 0820 and will be back to low at 1445. By then the NE wind should be hammering in at 20-25 kts – which ought to push up the waves a bit.
Outlook for the coming week you ask? Ah, well, I can refer you to the ever perspicacious Goat for a clear eyed reckoning of our prospects.
Have a top old Friday and keep on smilin’!
