ScottiE 174 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 typical shite herald reporting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MasterOfDisaster 0 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Funny, I was walking down lambton when this sucker hit and thought: "Damn I don't want to be in Evans Bay right now" - been there, done that. No analysis to be had here, and I hope the instructor reads the forecast next time, because there was a southerly front forecast for midday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wheels 543 Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 Yep really must be slow news day. Good grief talk about trying to suck a story out of a non event. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philstar 61 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 yup 4 capsized 420's with an attendant rib and a piece of driftwood on Murawai beach. Can some one tell stuff and herald that THIS IS NOT NEWS !!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
khayyam 77 Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 it does seem to be impressively bad, even for the herald. the original article just said "yachts", with no photos or description. that made it seem like something newsworthy could conceivably have happened. it was just hard to believe they were really writing about capsized dinghies in a squall!
