A front came over Mindarie around 2.30 pm, very nasty little one and did a lot of damage further across the city. Northam copped the worst with roofs gone and lots of damage.
After it passed it settled down again and the temp reached 41deg which was extremely uncomfortable on board. So we headed to dome and airconditioning to have some lunch and cool off.
We finished packing up, taking the bimini cover off and I left the boat so Frank could reposition the ropes and move her further off the jetty. The marlon board at the rear needed to be away from the jetty in case it jammed underneath.
It was interesting watching small boats coming in to be put on trailers and seeing the surging. The water would rise a couple of feet over the boat ramp jetty then drop again.
At home it was extremely steamy so jumped into the pool to have a cool down.
Biance fizzled out to be a tropical low, but on her way she battered Geraldton and Bunbury copped some high winds. So now all we have is another steamy day to get through and hope this is the last one we have to face this season.
With the little we faced it certainly gave a little reality to the people in Queensland and what they have gone through and our hearts go out to all those who have lost everything.
