Lady Carolina wasn’t the only one carving the coral with their dinghy prop. When we were in Moorea, heading to the Hilton our first night there to find the Kings game, our dinghy met its match. We were in very shallow water, and the bombies were mostly visible. Mostly. We struck a coral head at not quite planing speed, and while nobody flew out of the dinghy, Tim DID get thrown forward in a very awkward way. I’m not sure how the coral faired, but the dinghy prop was mangled pretty good, and Tim had to spend the better part of the next day banging on it with a mallet to straighten it out. We can plane again, but I’m wondering if a dinghy prop is something we should have a spare of. Hmmm.
