Fish 0 Posted October 14, 2018 Share Posted October 14, 2018 Looks like they stopped for a cuppa That looks just like the swimmers got to home base, someone managed to shoot one past the goalie, your gonna need a bigger boat in about three quarters of a year... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jon 412 Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 North Minerva Reef Ifs a lot bigger than your expectations The entrance is over 150m of navigatable water It’s a strange feeling being surrounded by ocean swell and anchored in flat water. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve Pope 253 Posted October 15, 2018 Share Posted October 15, 2018 Of note to anyone going there is that the light is well away from the entrance, we circumnavigated it one dark night (radar) awaiting daylight. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Frank 173 Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 North Minerva is an interesting spot the entrance is wide and clear and the lagoon itself seems to have few if any coral heads, its a very large area . There are supposed to be large crayfish in the reef pools at night but we never saw any, but plenty of Tongans collecting Beche de Mer. Diving on the South Side of the entrance is excellent. If you have decent tackle trolling the reef edge can be exciting.
