Yes and the very mouth of the entrance to the marina is all filled in with sand. 18 to 24 inches of water at low tide... Boats with outboards that can be trimmed up are usually OK 1 hour before or after low tide. Dead low you are taking a chance. If we have a new or full moon tide I would avoid the area 2 hours on either side of low tide.

As a side, funding has been approved to dredge this area and it is on the Army Corp of Engineers list to be dredged. Given all the other higher priority areas that were effected by Sandy, this project is taking a back seat to them and could take as long as a year to get done.
