We anchor in an area the is a little difficult to get to. We observed a number of boats going into this area prior to going back there ourselves. After a number of attempts, we finally found a good route--actually, Gail did. I have an unique ability to find shallow water!
All three of these pictures are at a low tide (minus water, in fact). The top to bottom picture is our view, left to right from our anchorage. If you look closely, you will see a bird that appears to be standing out of the water--because it is.
On the last picture, you can see where the deep water around this grass flat is. Unfortunately, we see a number of boaters attempting to go straight across the bar. Yes they run aground usually we hear the motor roar, outboard tilted up, boat moving very slowly. It does seem that chart reading, water reading, depth sounders reading and general water skills are in short supply.
A commercial operator brings a large passenger ferry boat through here several times a day!
