Michaelmas Reef  X fire 105 Venom 44 RSR E2 8.6 then (after fin box demolished) ISO 117 S10 43 E2 8.6

Totally frustrating day AHHHRRr Kept on hitting reef.Always a risk when checking out new territory.

Had to find a spare board ~15mins into my 1st session after destroying the X fire fin box .Meant a 2hr round trip to GI to collect the ISO 117 .

Left the 8.6 in the water attached to an anchor expecting it to be easy to find on our return -wrong .After knocking off the Mercruiser alpha leg skeg on a bommie we managed to beach to boat on top of another pile of rubble ...MMmmm Not good .

Eventually got onto the run at 320pm after leaving home at 900 am.

Wind 13-18 SSE 

Kel had a better time !! He's the numbers man today ....

That's more like it Cam................destroying some more gear.  Did the wind have more south in it than your last trip there as you appear to have sailed over top of reef rather than along it's leeward edge or were the tides higher. Nothing here again this week - it's doing my head in.
