Across a large part of  Australia , the  affect   of  reborn Cyclone Owen   is being  felt , evacuations in the Gulf country ,  wild overnight storms in Darwin , extensive   river  flood  warnings   for   Queensland ,a massive system  likely to  hug the coast  from Cairns south, the  moisture  sucked down into  Victoria  by a low . In  Townsville yesterday  evening   the sky  was pink.

Our S(h)ipping Reporter  wonders how this yacht , recently swept up onto the  Townsville   breakwater , will   fare  in the  expected blow . Any attempt to remove the  yacht   to stop  it being  smashed to   pieces  at the weekend, becoming a menace to  shipping  ? Could  be  a  local   media  story ?
