Boat on the hook

[Capt. Debbie]

No doubt you're right. The older plotters(3 years old or so do not show that green tidal basin. Only the yellow beach. And that face of the hook gets deep fast.

That's why the short lived 11A buoy was put in for that shoal.

The NOAA charts show several hundred more feet of usable water. We've done dozens of night time ungrounding there for this exact reason.


I'll betcha A LOT of money that's why this guy ran aground. Likely at night. Likely at high new moon tide too. And I'll bet you he was in shallow water when it was stuck too.

Moral of the story you can NOT cut the SH 11 can. Especially at night

Again, I don't know the circumstances of this boat's particular grounding.
