Malcolm,
I might know why Rob decided to go turtle all of a sudden on your trip. He probably saw a good picture opportunity and thought if he went swimming he might find one of his cameras. Great picture I can hardly wait for the report. I am going out to put the kayaks on top right now so I can leave right after work tomorrow. I will be back on Tuesday night maybe we will have a report by then.

: Hello Scott,

: You know Rob was adamant that I let him post his trip report first,
: so I am waiting too!!! I'm anxious to hear his version of the
: story, especially the part where he decided all of a sudden to
: go swimming. I'm not quite sure that whole story, but I think
: maybe he saw a fish and wanted to go after it.

: Here's the best pic from the trip- waves breaking over Johnson's
: Reef. Seas were 9-11 feet and breaking waves 18 to 24 was the
: forecast. I figure they were about 15 feet over Johnson's reef.
: Wave intervals were veeeery long, so the 9-11 din't feel so bad,
: but the shoreline was getting pummeled. Some of the best surf
: we've had in a long time. You can see that Rob was at the bottom
: of a very long swell and I was half-way up. I surf the reef a
: lot so I know where the waves will break and went a little
: closer to check it out.
