Default Re: Boat on the hook

EXACTLY where I thought. Inside SH #11. The charts are TOTALL WRONG THERE.

The plotter & charts shows about 500 feet from #11 to shore. At high tide its covered an and at low tide its only about 150 feet (NOT 500') from the #11.

Five years ago the USCG "was" concerned worried enough about that error to put add an 11A buoy inside the existing #11 buoy to show how inaccurate the charts were

That part of the Hook is growing each year. Those flats where this boat is (based on the pin point) disappears under water on a moon tide but only has about 1-1.5 feet of water cover.
