So while soaking baits at Whirinaki last night we see a torpedo/kontiki drifting past about 200m offshore. It was heading across the bay towards the port. I says to Jase, that thing has just drifted right across the reef.
Next thing a car pulls up and a joker with a kids polystyrene surfboard comes running down to the beach.
"that your kontiki out here bud?"
"yeah bro I snapped the line while pulling it in"
"you gonna swim out and get it? Bloody long swim!"
"Yeah"
Then off he goes down to the waters edge while his missus? and other girls watch.
But he doesn't dive in, gets cold feet and stands back looking at it.
Next thing his missus grabs the board off him, jumps in and swims out to it. She spins it around, switches on the prop and drives the damn thing back to the beach! Epic!
