Marine Stinger Cluster Near Outer Sandbar
Spotted multiple Box Jellyfish tentacles drifting 60m east of the pontoon during slack tide. Stinger nets are checked but stay in your craft.
2.8m Estuarine Crocodile Near Mooring Buoys
Cruising south towards Double Island channel at approx 3 knots. Department of Environment notified. Launch with extreme caution.
Heavy Drift Log Partially Submerged
Large 4-meter timber trunk drifting mid-channel right on the incoming tide line. Barely clearing surface wake; danger to hull impaction.
Glass-Out Conditions Across South Passage
Wind dropped beneath 7 knots with crystal clear 8m sight line. Zero debris across transit. Perfect conditions to run from Yorkeys Knob.
Strong Shifting Current Around Northern Bommie
Spring tide run-out generating turbulent backwash on eastern edge. Jet ski riders advise throttling wide to avoid cavitating on drop-off.
Port Lateral Beacon #4 Listing Off Cable
Flashing beacon has shifted roughly 30m west into active jet ski fairway. Night navigation caution advised until Coast Guard resets mooring.
