Just this minute got back from marina. Drove thru sallys gut for the first time today after spending a few minutes with my chart. Probably not the best thing for someone new to the lake. Yes, it is well marked, but a bit nerve racking.
At the end, as I approached the tiny little opening that let's you out, a near by fisherman yelled for me to center myself more with the opening...and told me to do it quickly. As I past thru, I saw where my course would have taken me. Hull would have hit...no question. I believe the area requires a bit of "local knowledge" aside from the chart. Probably better to pass thru the first time with someone who has done it already.
