Cyclone Kirrily is approaching the coast and headed straight for Townsville, where we are. With predictions showing it will be heading straight for us we are getting Emma ready…again. With the imminent cyclone strike we are being evacuated off our boats and all personnel need to leave the marina. The day of the strike, Kirrily kicked up a bit more and went from a Category 2 to a categoy 3 cyclone. We watch the boats and the marina from our hotel room and the next morning head down to see what the damage is.
We are the James Family, we purchased an unfinished aluminium catamaran and are fixing her up as we sail around the world. Come onboard our boat and join this sailing family aboard on our floating home!
