Debbie does Airlie

I have not been blogging much of late, or fishing much either over a busy Christmas, Chinese New Year and end of busy season wind down. I have a few trips in the camera and had a few stories in the pipeline but everything has been overwhelmed by what happened on 27th March. A day now carved into Whitsunday history.

For anyone who wants to really know what it is like I am just posting 2 links. One is to a savage, emotional youtube video posted by a local and in the vain of a "picture tells a thousand words", nothing can compare. The other is a link to a fishing chat page is visit from time to time, where I fatefully decided to do a live blog on the experience of riding out a cyclone. It gets a bit raw as the penny drops that this was not just another cyclone. It was the 1 in 100 year monster nobody though would ever hit us. https://www.facebook.com/daniel.schroeder.98/videos/vb.1829400789/10206729703041076/?type=2&theater
