Facebook provides an excellent and simple facility for conducting group discussions in text form, including unbeatable support for adding still pictures, movies and "shares". As a result, with our Facebook Group we have better media-rich communication within Noosa Yakkers than ever before, with lots of info and useful material appearing quickly on our Group because it's so easy to post, to view and to make comments. Not on Facebook? I encourage you to dip your paddle in the Facebook sea and give it a try. If the oldest members of Noosa Yakkers can do it probably you can. Not convinced? Don't despair.

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 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.

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.
