So, fairly quiet, but at least we had some spotty macs show up early on and one of the biggest longtails we've seen was brought in late in the month. Here's hoping we get some great offshore weather for June.

And that was the quietest month we've had in ages. Cyclone Debbie was the main reason. Things are looking better for May, though.

And that was that for March 2017, which finished spectacularly with the NQ landfall of Cyclone Debbie on 28/29Mar17 and the aftermath felt in Noosa on 30Mar17. Hope the weather's great for the school holidays at least, in April.

Another busy month, except for the last, windy, week. It was great to see some posts from first timers; thanks guys, please contribute again soon.

Looking forward to March, which looks like being off to a nice start, weather-wise. Maybe a spotty mac mayhem due this month.
