On the news headlines, there was a story about a boat rolling over.
I missed the news and now can't find the story on a news site, except for one in Sydney.
Was that the one?

I think that a 'freak' wave (or maybe a couple of 'freak' waves) rolled a couple of boats on the Gold Coast. Just saw the last couple of seconds on CH9 so I don't know what happened exactly but reference was made to a freak wave.
Really freaky to get two freak waves in almost the same spot on the same day but I guess they can't report it as a, "Shit, I didn't see that one coming" type of wave.
I hope no one was drowned or injured.

One got a wave over the back coming back in over the bar and the other was in close to burleigh headlands. Would appear they weren't keeping an eye out???
