With the obvious increase in popularity at Mettams and in light of the fact that it ain't that hot a wavesailing location anyway, I was wondering if anyone sailed out at little island very often. I used to be a big fan about 10 years ago but haven't been out there for quite a while. Are there many out there? I should expect that the penalty for gear damage out there would be sufficient to keep newbies away.
I would like to sail there more often i.e. Saturday on a big swell but am not real keen if I am on my own.

Anyone keen for a LI Mission?

I would likely be keen for the sail out rather than boat it. I have access to a big sailing catamaran at Hillarys if we needed a rescue from the island but it is too much hassle to get out there for an arvo mission. Alternatively if you had another spot worthy of checking out and i could be convinced of its merit then I may be able to borrow it for the afternoon. Rigging up on the deck has been done many a time usually not at anchor though and it'd take three people to get it out and back into the pen again.

I usually launch just from the other side of the harbor. (near sailing club).
I haven't sailed it often , just once a while when the lack of wave frustration gets me!
It is a bit gusty near the shore but you are there in one tack.
and could rest on island with seals. they stinck though
If there is a spot to check out by boat, I'll definetely give a hand to get out of the pen
I'll keep in touch
