Summary

Description
English: A Yacht casualty of Cyclone Joy near Abel Point Marina, Queensland, Australia.

We spent 3 weeks in the Whitsundays just after Cyclone Joy had passed through. We saw the sun once for 15 minutes.

It rained most of the time and there was very low visibility so we spent most of the time in Hamilton Island Marina.

December 1990/ January 1991

TC Joy formed on the 18 December south of the Solomon Islands and had a general southwestward direction. It reached peak intensity on the 23 December (940 hPa) with maximum sustained winds of 90 knots. It eventually dissipated on the 27 south of Townsville. TC Joy had entailed severe damages in Port Douglas and in the Mackay and Pioneer Valley districts.
