Welcome to BBC Channel Islands on Wednesday 15th March. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
The teacher guilty of abusing children in his care. He was told he | :00:00. | :00:19. | |
committed a gross betrayal. Natural collapse - | :00:20. | :00:21. | |
the pines prone to fall at The Guet, but can | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
nature hold it up? It is not just the Monterey pines, | :00:24. | :00:32. | |
it is the whole aspect of trying to get some more life, both flowers, | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
and actually make it more enjoyable for people to come in and walk. | :00:37. | :00:38. | |
The link between Jersey's iconic lighthouse and your everyday | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
A 74-year-old former teacher has been sent to prison for 5.5 years | :00:42. | :00:51. | |
Christopher Roy Bacon had previously been found guilty | :00:52. | :00:59. | |
of eight sex offences, dating back more than 30 years. | :01:00. | :01:01. | |
Julie Flanagan was at the Royal Court for his sentencing. | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
The offences for which Christopher Roy Bacon were being sentenced | :01:08. | :01:10. | |
here today were all committed while he was a teacher at D'Hautree | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
secondary school in the late 1970s and the early 80s. | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
He'd been found guilty of the historic abuse | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
Today, the Royal Court commissioner Sir Michael Birt told Bacon he had | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
committed a gross betrayal against boys who were entrusted | :01:30. | :01:31. | |
to his care, and psychological reports suggest two victims | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
in particular have been significantly | :01:35. | :01:35. | |
Sir Michael said: "You pleaded not guilty and forced your victims | :01:36. | :01:43. | |
to come to court and relive what happened." | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
Bacon, who was wearing a dark suit, showed no emotion as the | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
A restraining order has also been made to prevent him | :01:50. | :01:54. | |
contacting one victim when he is released from prison. | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
He will also remain on the sex offenders register for ten years. | :01:57. | :02:08. | |
The Channel Islands are sending ?500,000 to help the famine crisis | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
The UN has warned the world is facing its largest humanitarian | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
crisis since World War Two, with millions of people facing | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
starvation in Yemen, Somalia, South Sudan and parts of Nigeria. | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
Guernsey's giving ?50,000, while ?200,000 from the Jersey | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
Overseas Aid Commission will pay for food, hygiene kits, | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
These are parts of the world that have faced all sorts of destruction | :02:30. | :02:49. | |
through internal crisis and conflict, but are also facing | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
environmental issues including drought. What we are facing now is a | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
catastrophic situation where people are dying, and it is going to get | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
worse for stop it really is incumbent upon the people of Jersey, | :03:02. | :03:06. | |
frankly as part of the wealth that we have here in this place, to be | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
sharing that with people in other countries that are facing this kind | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
of tragedy that is destroying families and societies. | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
A 60-year-old British photo-journalist has been jailed | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
for two-and-a-half years after admitting defrauding | :03:21. | :03:21. | |
five Guernsey businesses to the tune of ?50,000. | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
The Royal Court heard Adrian McKenzie came | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
to Guernsey in 2015, claiming to be a multi-millionaire | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
looking for a home for his retirement. | :03:29. | :03:30. | |
Over nine months, he ran up debts with architects, an estate agent, | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
an accountancy firm and a local hotel, while developing lavish, | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
but ultimately false plans for a property on the west coast. | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
The woodland at one of Guernsey's most popular | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
scenic spots is crumbling and in danger of collapsing. | :03:48. | :03:49. | |
But local conservationists have come up with a plan and are launching | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
a project to develop the woodland at the Guet. | :03:53. | :03:54. | |
It's one of the most popular parts of the island for walks and one | :03:55. | :04:02. | |
of the rare areas of woodland in Guernsey, but the future | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
of the Guet is in doubt, with its iconic Monterrey Pines now | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
exceeding their natural lifespan and no plans in place | :04:09. | :04:11. | |
for when they literally begin to collapse. | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
Groups of local conservationists are developing plans to rejuvenate | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
the area and breathe new life into the natural | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
The trees were planted 80 years ago, and the life span of a Monterey Pine | :04:22. | :04:36. | |
is about 70 years. You know, eventually, if we did not do | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
anything, they would all come down anyway. But it is not just the pine | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
trees, it is the whole aspect of trying to get some wildlife, both | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
flowers, and actually make it more enjoyable for people to come in and | :04:49. | :04:51. | |
walk and play and picnic. A project's been launched | :04:52. | :04:53. | |
introducing new plants and wildlife and making it an even more | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
attractive and appealing place This woman is from the Guernsey | :04:57. | :04:58. | |
Trees For Life group is one She's appealing for | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
the public to help. With this project we are starting | :05:03. | :05:14. | |
right at the beginning with public engagement. Over the course of the | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
week, we have delivered invitations to 160 households around this | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
particular oddity. I did not realise there were quite so many. And | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
action, to bring them in and say you are the neighbours, you are the | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
community, you probably love and use this place, what are your thoughts | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
question mark this is a new, different approach. | :05:34. | :05:34. | |
So, the message for the public is don't take a back | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
David Earl, BBC Channel Islands News, Guernsey. | :05:38. | :05:39. | |
There are plans to open a hostel in Alderney to help | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
pay for the restoration of a 2,000-year-old Roman fort. | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
The States wants to turn part of the site known as the "nunnery" | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
It has a wealth of military history, which politicians want | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
In time they hope the building will pay for itself with plans | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
What do you do when you need to replace part of Jersey's iconic | :05:57. | :06:03. | |
The original chain that made the light flash | :06:04. | :06:11. | |
was replaced at the landmark from an unusual source. | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
Annie Knowlson was there during this morning's fog to find out more. | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
Today it's driven by a motor, but previously a five meter long | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
chain was used to drive the cog which rotated the shade that | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
The lighthouse keeper found the old one, tried his best | :06:23. | :06:27. | |
to restore it, but couldn't, and sought help at the best | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
place he could think of - the local bicycle workshop. | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
The gentleman turned up with an extremely | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
My first thought was, how big is this guy's bike?! | :06:39. | :06:46. | |
Considering the length of the chain, there was basically 20 or 30 stiff | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
links in the chain which he'd worked quite hard to try to retain | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
the original chain, but I think it was getting to the point where it | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
wasn't functioning properly any more. | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
And now the new chain has been fitted in place, | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
returning some aesthetic authenticity to the internal | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
But this isn't the only improvement needed. | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
Inside, the paint work is coming away, but more | :07:13. | :07:14. | |
important is the steelwork which is being currently maintained. | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
What we've noticed after the last painting is that the paint has | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
deteriorated quite quickly, and internally there is an ingress | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
of water which is causing concern for some of the steel work | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
That problem has now been identified and rectified | :07:29. | :07:39. | |
but we'd still like to clean the outside of | :07:40. | :07:41. | |
Repaint it with a product which stops the ingress of water, | :07:42. | :07:51. | |
seals the lighthouse completely and then once that's sealed we'll | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
allow the internally for that to dry out completely before we recoat it | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
again and resolve the rust issues on the steelwork. | :07:58. | :07:59. | |
It may have been replaced by modern mechanisms, | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
but today's weather conditions, show why this lighthouse has always | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
played an important role on Jersey's west coast. | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
Jersey's Les Quennevais School has been named as one of the top | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
three fundraising schools in the British Isles | :08:13. | :08:14. | |
After raising ?6,000 last time, they've been given the title | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
of "Super Fundraisers" and they're super proud of it. | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
They may have something fuzzy on their noses, | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
but these students have the warm fuzzy feeling from being super | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
It's the best feeling possible, just knowing were part of a big | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
community which is doing something good raising money for | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
Because Jersey is such a small island, it's not just the top | :08:40. | :08:49. | |
fundraisers in Jersey, it's the top fundraisers in the UK, | :08:50. | :08:51. | |
and it's a really proud feeling to know our school can do that. | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
It's amazing to be recognised actually for the fundraising, | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
Gunging, gallopathons and talent shows contributed | :08:58. | :09:02. | |
Their record Comic Relief fundraising total was ?13,000. | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
Everyone in the school is pleased with this success. | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
Absolutely so, so, so proud of our school. | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
That it's on the map in the UK, that our students raised that money, | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
all whilst having a really good time and making incredible | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
With so much to look out for on March 24th, | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
hopefully Les Quennevais will continue to be super | :09:30. | :09:31. | |
Super fundraisers indeed, well done. Now 28 super weatherman, with | :09:32. | :09:47. | |
hopefully a super weather forecast. Yes, great to see such great | :09:48. | :10:00. | |
efforts. It looks like we will see some changes in the weather forecast | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
over the next few days. We start to lose some of this misty nurse and | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
low cloud, something we have had to get used to this week. Tomorrow, the | :10:09. | :10:13. | |
risk of drizzle, rather cloudy and feeling mild, and problems with Fox | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
first thing in the morning. But the high pressure is moving away from | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
us, and that is when we start to see a change. Tomorrow, this weather | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
front will creep eastwards, probably not getting to us until it is a weak | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
affair. On Friday, a more definite change. Stronger winds, and those | :10:35. | :10:43. | |
blustery conditions continuity of the weekend, hopefully listing some | :10:44. | :10:50. | |
of the low cloud. Another misty night tonight, relatively mild with | :10:51. | :10:59. | |
eight or nine the minimum temp shut. Tomorrow, the cloud will list a bit, | :11:00. | :11:03. | |
with more of a breeze developing. There is more of a breeze, and 12 | :11:04. | :11:08. | |
degrees the top temperature with even a bit of drizzle in the wind. | :11:09. | :11:17. | |
Like we have seen today, some good surfing conditions. The biggest | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
waves will be around Guernsey. This is Friday's forecast. We should | :11:23. | :11:44. | |
have a reasonable day on Friday, we might even get some sunshine. More | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
of a breeze around, so better visibility in general, but the blue | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
to the north is heading our way for the weekend ahead. Changes as I | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
mentioned, not really what we are but certainly brighter on Friday, | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
but cloudy on Saturday and Sunday. David, thank you. A quick recap of | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
tonight's. Story: A former teacher has been jailed for 5.5 years for | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
abusing children in his care. Christopher Roy Bacon was told he | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
committed a gross betrayal. There is more News online, as well as your | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
local BBC radio station from 6am. Now, the rest of Spotlight. Good | :12:23. | :12:24. | |
night. There were some good results | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
for our football sides last night - She's riding high - | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
the top jockey hoping to make a bit of history at the Cheltenham Gold | :12:32. | :12:37. | |
Cup. And the young scientists in search | :12:38. | :12:39. | |
of proof after deadly intent Technology used for gaming | :12:40. | :12:41. | |
is being harnessed to try to cut the number of people | :12:42. | :12:51. | |
who accidentally drown There were more deaths | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
from water-related incidents in Devon than in any other county | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
in England in 2015. 321 people died in the UK, | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
with 231 of them in England. By county, Devon had 19, | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
Cornwall had ten, Dorset Across the UK, most | :13:09. | :13:10. | |
of the deaths were men. Now a virtual reality film | :13:11. | :13:17. | |
is being made to show the risks and Clare Woodling has been | :13:18. | :13:20. | |
to find out more. People are taking chances, | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
and that's why more drown in Devon Today we're shooting | :13:26. | :13:35. | |
a virtual-reality on the issues of drink-drowning, | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
peer pressure and cold-water shock. This water rescue is | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
an exercise done with actors. It will make a virtual-reality film | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
warning people about the risks. The Fire Service want it to save | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
lives, particularly young ones. Why is it the service is not | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
handing out leaflets So, for me, the issue with having | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
leaflets is that actually you can hand them out but people may not | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
necessarily read them, they may just get thrown | :14:06. | :14:08. | |
on the side, put in a pocket, whereas with this technology we're | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
engaging with people, we're sparking a conversation, | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
we're being able to show them just how dangerous this water is visually | :14:15. | :14:16. | |
through the virtual-reality goggles and being able to go | :14:17. | :14:18. | |
into schools and colleges and starting that debate, | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
really, to stop people The virtual-reality headset allows | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
the wearer to live in the scene Up, down, left, right, | :14:25. | :14:31. | |
the vision is 360 degrees. While no film can share | :14:32. | :14:39. | |
the chill of the cold water, If you were falling | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
in and it was sort of not planned, you didn't have anyone with you, | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
the initial shock of being I noticed when I had just got in, | :14:49. | :14:51. | |
your breath is like... and you're quite gasping for air, | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
to try and keep the blood It's this helmet covered in cameras | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
that will provide the footage from different angles and make | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
the viewer's experience Most people don't find themselves | :15:05. | :15:06. | |
in a boat like this unless It's hoped that these will bring | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
the dangers of rivers, canals, lakes and the sea closer to home | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
for more people before they find It was a good evening | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
for our football sides last night. Plymouth Argyle and Exeter City | :15:20. | :15:37. | |
kept their promotion hopes alive and Torquay United did their plans | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
of avoiding relegation Exeter City put the recent losses | :15:41. | :15:42. | |
to Hartlepool and Accrington behind them with a comprehensive win | :15:43. | :15:51. | |
at home to Cheltenham. They went in front | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
on the stroke of half-time. David Whelan was brought down | :15:55. | :15:56. | |
in the penalty area by Cheltenham And then it was down | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
to Reuben Reid to do the rest. The striker then doubled his tally | :16:00. | :16:06. | |
for the evening, combining with Jake Taylor on the right-hand | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
side before showing a quick turn of pace and rifling the ball | :16:11. | :16:12. | |
into the back of the net. Double figures now for | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
Reuben Reid this season. Taylor then turned from creator to | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
finish with this fine solo effort. It sealed the points | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
for the Grecians and extends their gap to eighth in the table | :16:27. | :16:28. | |
to three points. Plymouth Argyle picked up a very | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
useful point on the road The hosts took the lead | :16:34. | :16:36. | |
through Myles Weston's But super sub Nathan Blissett, | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
on from the bench, rose highest to head in his first Pilgrims goal, | :16:41. | :16:47. | |
and in doing so sent Torquay United held promotion | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
hopefuls Tranmere Rovers to a 0-0 draw at Plainmoor, | :16:52. | :16:58. | |
and in doing so they remain a point clear from safety | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
in the National League. And Yeovil Town are in action this | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
evening, when they take She's from Devon and will become | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
only the second woman ever to ride in the Cheltenham Gold Cup | :17:10. | :17:15. | |
on Friday. Jockey Lizzie Kelly will be | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
on board Tea for Two, trained by her stepfather Nick | :17:21. | :17:22. | |
Williams. Damian Derrick has been | :17:23. | :17:23. | |
to the family yard to I wanted to dress like a male jockey | :17:24. | :17:26. | |
with all the right gear, proper riding boots, | :17:27. | :17:35. | |
proper brooch and everything. I had to do more to fit | :17:36. | :17:38. | |
in and look right and look Lizzie hasn't just fitted | :17:39. | :17:45. | |
in, she's stood out, making her own piece of history | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
along the way. COMMENTATOR: A first ever grade | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
one win in Britain over That win at the highest level | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
in jump racing 15 months ago The confidence side | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
of that was massive, you know, it really set in stone sort | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
of where I was going and what I was capable of, | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
being able to say I have won a grade one to myself, when | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
things are a bit bleak. Despite her success, opportunities | :18:21. | :18:29. | |
are limited for Lizzie. Many owners and trainers | :18:30. | :18:36. | |
are still reluctant to expose women The vast majority of her rides come | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
from the family yard. Not that she is getting | :18:40. | :18:48. | |
any hand-outs. She rides for us and we run | :18:49. | :18:50. | |
a business and if we don't get the success, then we won't be | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
here in years to come, I feel very proud that somebody | :18:56. | :18:57. | |

Lizzie says is behind her success. Although long used to being | :19:07. | :19:13. | |
outnumbered in the weighing room, she does understand the significance | :19:14. | :19:16. | |

it was an illuminating insight into the world | :20:04. | :20:05. | |
forensic investigations. John Henderson joined | :20:06. | :20:07. | |
the budding detectives. It is how they find out DNA strands | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
and CSI stuff and how they catch James and fellow super sleuths | :20:14. | :20:21. | |

see the yeast that you prepared on a microscope slide, | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
so these are the cells that you have stained with the dye, | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
so your job is to see amongst all these yeast cells if you can | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
spot ones that are different, because those | :20:43. | :20:45. | |
are the ones that we think that are the mutant yeast, | :20:46. | :20:47. | |

we take the research that we do in the lab on DNA, | :21:14. | :21:22. | |
on people's genetic samples and we carry | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
that right through into understanding how | :21:27. | :21:29. | |

who want to give science a spin. Just remain excited, inquisitive and | :21:54. | :22:07. | |
don't worry about looking geeky. I think sometimes the look of things | :22:08. | :22:14. | |
might put people off where people think you wear a lab coat and that | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
is not a bad thing. A little genetic genius helped the pupils work out | :22:19. | :22:21. | |

And we're hoping there will be no spiking of baked goods next week, | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
when BBC Radio Devon and Cornwall, Spotlight, Inside Out | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
and the Sunday Politics will be competing in their very | :22:39. | :22:40. | |
They'll be pitting their best Victoria sponges against one another | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
And you'll be able to see how they get on and how much they raise | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
In the meantime, it has been so mild, hasn't it? It has been nice. | :22:51. | :23:07. | |
Other places have had the crowds. It is going to change, because it turns | :23:08. | :23:14. | |
unsettled as we head into the week ahead. More cloud and more breeze | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
developing. In the still air we have had the leader two or three days it | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
is about to change but we have had some lovely sunshine in place of. | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
This this was the sunset in Somerset. The beautiful end to the | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
day here. Some sunshine coming in across other parts of Somerset. This | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
is hovered in the sunshine with just patchy cloud. The change will happen | :23:38. | :23:41. | |
through the day tomorrow. Generally for all of us rather a cloudy day | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
tomorrow. The risk of drizzle as well as hill fog. This weather front | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
is a bit closer. It also marks the boundary between the very mild air | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
and slightly colder conditions. Once that moves across southern Britain | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
temperatures will come down and then it opens the door to several weather | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
fronts queueing up to affect us and that will arrive at the weekend so | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
the weekend looks like it could be quite windy and at times also quite | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
wet for Saturday and Sunday. Risk winds. Perhaps Sunday afternoon in a | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
bit brighter with some sunshine but also some sharp showers. You can see | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
how we have had a fair cover of cloud today in places but others | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
have had the glorious sunshine. It is mainly be the more eastern parts | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
of Devon in the Dorset and Somerset where we have seen likely clear | :24:35. | :24:37. | |
skies to date allowing the sunshine to come through allowing | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
temperatures to get up quite high. He can see where Cornwall and west | :24:43. | :24:45. | |
and south Devon have been rather cloudy. Parts of North Devon, | :24:46. | :24:51. | |
Somerset and the North Dorset have had glorious sunshine. Overnight | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
tonight the holes were filling with mist and low cloud and it will be | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
very similar to what it was last night. A few spits of drizzle but | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
possible in the far west and temperatures no lower than between | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
six and nine. Tonight the cloud figure capable of producing drizzle | :25:09. | :25:15. | |
and few holes in that cloud so we returned to other great day tomorrow | :25:16. | :25:22. | |
stores. Temperatures not as high as they have been. Ten or 11 the top | :25:23. | :25:29. | |
temperatures. Here is the forecast for the Isles of Scilly. For much of | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
the date we have mild there. Bits of drizzle in the wind. Still feeling | :25:35. | :25:37. | |
quite mild but the will feel cooler into credit. Good surf today, bigger | :25:38. | :25:52. | |
than predicted. Not quite so high waves tomorrow but still some usable | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
served. As the breeze comes on the waves will become slightly choppy | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
especially towards the end of the afternoon. Westerly 3-4, fearing | :26:02. | :26:08. | |
north-westerly four. Occasional drizzle with moderate occasionally | :26:09. | :26:12. | |
poor visibility. Friday isn't too bad to start with. We might end up | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
with a bright start to Friday. Brief sunshine even through the morning | :26:18. | :26:20. | |
but then clouding over with patchy rain turning up. But rain keeps on | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
coming through the weekend. Generally quite cloudy weekend but | :26:26. | :26:31. | |
also quite windy at times. Thank you. And our News at 10:30pm an | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
update on that meeting which is about to get underway about | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
Holsworthy hospital but from all of us, good night. | :26:40. | :26:44. |
