mix of patchy cloud and perfect sunshine today. this morning a few guys sailed over the channel about 6-7km to arlington reef for a blast.
nothern speed run was pretty nice in the afternoon - not super windy but looked like everyone was having fun.

so going for a NM run at arlington reef are you still running though the swell lines or is it quite flat on that side of the waves??

the inside. it is super flat and just goes for kilometers. very tide dependent though so you have to be careful.

It's coral numbnuts

Arlington was an incredible experience - pretty hair raising but exhilarating.

I've only sailed it today but it was through the swell lines with the occasional crossover, as said great fun.
