Apr 20 09 In Byron Bay Today

Yee Gad it was blowing a gale In Byron Bay Today, but that didn’t stop a few desperadoes’ heading out to try their luck in the waves. Word has it that we got gusts of up to forty nine knots at several intervals during the day. Now that is what you call a good old fashion southerly buster. You know what though, there’s a very real attraction to the wilderness feel of it all when it gets like this in Byron. We get to see an entirely different mood to the bay. Sure it’s not the mood the tourist marketing chappies would have us see. For them its turquoise blue water, white linen shirts and champagne flutes all the way. But that cliche magazine look has got nothing on the ragged beauty of a big swell and howling wind, the likes of which we experienced In Byron Bay Today.
To those all windswept and interesting folks who chose to pose, we’d just like to say. Thank you all for being here with us In Byron Bay Today.
