Mosquito Rock

Here are two boats sailing along Colquhoun Reef, staying just outside of Mosquito Rock.

As we were beating up from The Baths one year, we found ourselves able to take quite a close course along the shore, the helmsman having a ball keeping her in the groove. At one point, I looked up and noticed that our line was running just inside of Mosquito Rock. Water looked fine along that line, but take a look at the next picture to see what we would have run into. I quietly told the helmsman to fall off a touch to avoid "that rock".
