Water Safety

Sir,—lt is on the cards we are going to have a dry southerly buster during February. If this should occur on a week-end it could be a nasty experience for small boatmen in Lyttelton harbour or people floating on mattresses off the beaches The day is beautifully fine, not, with * cloudless sky. a dying Mght easterly breeze smooth, glassy sea. a haze to seaward and from the beaches or outside Lyttelton heads a black streak can be seen on the horizon off the Long Look-out and a lone white cloud to the west of Mount Herbert That is all the warning you get and with the first gust of wind, it gets extremely cold and unpleasant. Keep on the south side ihe harbour and dodge the wot st of it In the old days even Cathedral square was an unpleasant place in a February southerly buster. —Yours, etc., PERA JACK. January 31, 1963.
