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.

Well done sa, and you now have some " local knowledge, to boot ", without hitting the ledge, or a rock!
