Cyclone Isobel!!! Early January 2007

I finally experienced my first cyclone overseas.
Although Isobel was just a category one cyclone when it hit the coast, was close enough to cause decent wind gusts on cable beach...the rainfalls were torrential for a few days though.

All of a sudden, on the third day and waiting for the wind to quiet down, Andrea, Andy and I decided to grab some bodyboards and head to cable beach for a thrill.

It was a delectable feeling though I woudn't recommend it to anyone unless you're a very good swimmer...
Huge swell, very choppy though and gusts hammering sideways (still about 100km/h) made the trip particularly tedious!
Sort of like we couldn't really walk on the beach with the wind and when we got into the water we had to go in and out all the time as we drifted 200m away in 5 min with the strong current!

It was an amazing adventure though we were absolutely knockered afterwards!!!
