Reading this post is why I thought of the danger involved with Crib reef. If you are in the Niagara Reef area and head in to the Toussaint River you will come pretty close to that reef and maybe come in right over the top of it depending on where you are when heading in. It actually scared me a little bit to think that maybe you could have hit that reef coming in while under power. I would have blamed myself for not warning you before hand. Even a 2 to 3 ft chop will put the reef more than close enough to the surface between waves(in the valley)for a boat to hit it even while on plane.
