it doesn't look much on google earth. i've been exploring round there a couple of times now. it is too shallow for the formula gear.
but today when i went there it was perfect. the run is 500m long. you would sail straight down the middle between the 2 banks. will work in a NE wind but in an ENE like today there is a bit of a shaddow effect.
it is very shallow. (maybe too shallow) so big KAHUNA's required.
what isn't appreciated on google earth is that both banks are high and dry at low tide and the centre channel has water in it. i am not sure about the exit to the south?
because i am on the 70cm fin i stay west of the western bank and head towards redland bay. the water there is about 70cm deep, (i touched a couple of times) has a sand bottom and was like glass today. not even a ripple. but as i said, wind shaddow.
i've been talking this spot up to vando and this the first time i've really had a decent look at it. next time i'll walk it's length and get a true idea of it's depth.
i am thinking if it works i'll take dibs and refer to it as "THE FUNNEL" because the exit is narrow.
i still hve a couple of more spots to investigate yet. one of them is a 2km long bank which exposes at low tide.
I know where Anaconda is, but where's whitworths?
