Cora Post ...


Conditions were almost ideal today for a trip to the Cora Post. That is, if you disregard the abundance of weed that has infested the shallows, making location of the line a minor challenge. Once overcome, the three of us made it out to the wreck in good shape. We spent a few minutes in photographic tasks, then headed off South down the line that heads for deeper water. Imagine our surprise, when reaching what had previously been the termination of the line - at about 65', we discovered that it has now been extended. We turned around just past 75' and the line was still going...

Lots of Bass on the wreck today. The wreck itself is looking pretty sad. Water temperature at the deepest point reached - 54F (12C) and the visibility about 30'.

JamesP and Myself laid that line it goes to 120feet, to the east is the boulder field and on the west is more holes for exploration.

Is there any truth to the rumor of a truck down in the area too?

Thanks Spike - that's a really helpful addition to this site. I use it for deeps for the AOW - the line takes one potential complication out of the equation.

Now I gotta go explore the boulder field....

The truck was lost by the Garrant(sp) family in one of the holes enroute to Wolfe Island, they found it a few years ago along with a large anchor that's in Portsmouth harbour. But no details on the truck.
