Port Elizabeth Gale winds
Oct 27
I was down at the ABYC today with Alan and saw how mother nature can show us whose boss.
Yesterday 26 October 2009 the winds clocked a confirmed 164 km/h and caused some major damage down at the yacht club. Almost every boat and yacht in the marina had some form of damage and it was also announced that 3 yachts sank. The moorings were so damaged that yacht owners could not even get to them today by foot.
The damage is estimated at millions and will take some time to repair. Mooring will be allowed alongside spare jetties in the harbour and at Coega Harbour.

That wind was scary
It was bad yes. Now it seems the wind is picking again. Seeing what that wind did to the moorings and the yachts was really sad, but it just goes to show, nature makes the choices at the end of the day.
