Testing the line...

So it's not the most exciting image, but when you enter the water in moderate surf, after several days of rough seas, it's really good to see that lines laid recently are still in place and unaffected. Tonight three of us made our way out to the KGH wreck simply to see that the line had remained intact. There's no doubt that the great work done recently by James and Kevin (who was along tonight) to stake it down has paid off. Surprisingly, with so much wave action and surface commotion, the visibility was pretty good - at about 30 feet. In places, weed had gathered on the line, but we removed it. It was also noticeable that accumulation of growth on the line is dulling what began, just a couple of weeks ago, as a hi-viz yellow finish. Once again, a light touch brightens it up quite well. It's likely that, at least until the colder weather sets in, a weekly maintenance swim will be a worthwhile endeavour. There was a lot of fish life on the wreck. A large Sheepshead was seen in the shallows and drifted in and out of sight as we swam along the line. Bass were busy on the wreck itself. The water temperature was 68℉ (20℃).
