It's like old times up here! We've gone back to the eighties when there was a tropical storm ( not normal gay ****y storm ) every afternoon. We had a hail storm at 6am this morning pass through!!! Wtf!!!! It hailed for half an hour. Crazy stuff. Two storms passed north and south of the bay and the southern one was a monster this afternoon. Chrissie (the missus) and I took the boat out at four and it was just too messy. An RL25 was trying to get out and he was becoming a hazard as he was making no headway and broaching in the leads. We got out but it was too rough for a fun sail. I love it but the missus not so much. Bigger boat would get out no prob. The bay was totally vacant. Yesterday Arvo ...the storm was the meanest structure I've seen in years. The roll cloud was pitch black, the upper was bright blue and the rain behind it was turquoise. Cool stuff. Every afternoon the sky shows multiple lanes of Hazy cloud stretching across the sky where each storm head is Getting blown to sea as it hits the upper atmosphere. Think tomorrow is worse the bureau is saying. It's great!!!!

I recall growing up in Sydney, we got hammered once or twice each summer by hail. And here's us getting shredded in Perth just a few years back....

Memories!!!
