Docker123 Posted February 19, 2018 #1 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Just coming home with very strong winds. Driving down The Strand in Williamstown looking at the very lumpy water. First thing I saw: Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docker123 Posted February 19, 2018 Author #2 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Looking across the Bay see Seabourn Encore due to leave at 11pm. But can also see the stern of the Astor, side on to the wind and waves. Struggling to continue its turn. Did not move in the 10 minutes I was watching .

Rare MicCanberra Posted February 19, 2018 #3 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Cheers, hopefully not too much damage happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docker123 Posted February 19, 2018 Author #4 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Newspaper reports Astor was blown onto the end of the pier and had to be pulled off by tugs. Marine traffic shows it did a lot of turns in the Bay. Presumably checking for damage Still has not gone through heads. Here is really windy, branches down. Fun.

PerfectlyPerth Posted February 19, 2018 #5 Share Posted February 19, 2018 If this link works it shows the Astor departing with a nice gash from the pier. And tugs had to help guide the Spirit out too. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

possum52 Posted February 19, 2018 #8 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Would have been quite tricky getting out of the bay as well. It was quite tricky getting out of my front door! The wind was from the south east so would have made it quite difficult for the ships to move away from the pier. It is reasonably calm here this morning.

Docker123 Posted February 19, 2018 Author #9 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Bay is as calm as anything this morning. Gentle breeze, clear blue sky. Encore left this morning instead of late last night, but only going to Geelong. Yacht didn’t make it. Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
