Just seen three water spouts starting out at sea at the back of the Cratos and traveling towards and past the harbour
The bases are as big as one of the morning ferries been happening for half an hour or so

Yes we were just watching them. When we lived in Turkey we had one come inshore and over our house. The amount of damage was incredible.......and pretty frightening too!!

Spotted two of them offshore Karaoglanoglu around 09:00 today, from Upper Zeytinlik, moving west fairly. The larger of the two was very impressive!
