Yesterday, there was a sailboat sailing too close to Rockpiles. An accident waiting to happen. On a normal day, that course is ok because the wind will blow it offshore. But not with the South/West winds yesterday.
The onshore wind and big waves pushed it further into the lineup. It was just a matter of time.
Then the first wave hits it. Such a bad place to be.
Then wave after wave pushed it right over the reef. Damaging coral, leaking gas, and putting the passengers in a high risk situation.
Too many accidents like this happen because of negligence. The reef always loses.
We went to check it this morning and yes, it was still there.
I wonder how they plan to get it off the reef without damaging it even more?
The water was still dirty and the sailboat didn’t make it any better. Today was the 5th day in a row the locals took a break. We drove 40 minutes to the East side and scored again!
Round 2: Blue sky, clean water, good waves, and nobody out.
Mighty Mouse is the happiest surfer in the world. She absolutely loves this place! All the waves to yourself is a surfers dream.
