No doubt a few of the local surfers will take advantage of the big swell running in the Bay this morning. This spot at the back of the North Quay known locally as the Graveyard only gets a good wave when wind and swell conditions come together. The worst gale in the last 40 years (1979) saw some seas reaching the height of the lamp posts - seven boats sank that night - crews were aboard all the larger vessels with their engines running trying to keep the tiers of boats in place as a huge 'run' in the harbour caused the boats to ride heavily on their mooring ropes.
