- Description:
UPDATE: 6.7 MLLW as of 5/29/2024 on Bob 423 track.
Caution: this is a difficult passage with winds of 15 kts or greater due to wave action between the two islands to the south which can push you off track, not to mention oncoming boats in the narrow passage. The 5/2/20224 USACE survey is shown with the Bob423 track. If you deviate off the Bob423 track through here, you can quickly see 5.5 MLLW or less.

Vessel Type: Sail
LOA: 35'
Draft: 5.5'Stayed on line starboard of 2 red nuns headed North but port of green can. The line took as out of the channel on the chartplotter. We grounded 50 ft North of the second red nun. Had to hang from boom swung out over the water to rock us off. Lost my hat! Immediately returned to channel on charplotter put us back in 8 ft of water. I don't know about the placement of those two red nuns!
