Do people go swimming in there? I assume not but have to ask? Its pretty cool to have these big brutes so close...
Gales Of November replied:
Here? No. The water gets deep very quickly and the current is substantial. A few miles south at 4 Mile Beach, people do go swimming. Or at least wading. You can literally watch the water being drawn out from shore as these boats approach. Once they pass, the water comes rushing back in a large wave that is pretty impressive to see..

A seriously interesting, unique image. What a massive ship Chris, and a fabulous picnic spot. V/F
Gales Of November replied:
Thank you for the compliment, Aaron. Lunch is made even better when you get a salute from a passing ship.
