Mothstrosity

omg wtf!!!11! lmao n00b w00t l4m3rz abft 0noe!

as I and I were on our way back from the Bay to Bay we stopped at Lake Cootharabah to check out the floods - well to see if the lake was still full from the flooding before easter.

The water looked a little higher than normal, but there was still enuf beach to rig on, which means it is still a long walk out to foil depth.

while we were there we did come across this sorry looking moth, complete with outboard bracket.



sadly it makes a better 'thing' than a moth.
