For those us that sail at NORTH Ricketts (next to the Yacht Club; as opposed to SOUTH Ricketts next to the life saving club), here's a warning from Adrian Burrage concerning the recently-gone-missing port side marker on the reef exit:

"Mike C went on a snorkelling expedition around the reef at Ricketts yesterday and was shocked by the 'death spike' that in a former life was the orange stick/pole on the reef opposite the yacht club. He described the offending item as a foot long, very sharp metal spike protruding from the rock. It remains just below the surface at low tide.

Mike rang the Commodore of the Beaumaris Yacht Club who indicated they will try to fix it quickly. For the time-being keep well clear of where the pole once was unless you're interested in being a shish-kebab marinara.

Please pass this message on to all fellow Ricketts Point sailors."

Im not a huge fan of north ricketts!

Can you sail there in a low tide?

and...

When its high tide, can you sail anywhere?
