Dave, I thought that North of FL 30 on the side of Mark is one red top closer to the island and a black top "companion" to the right of it. If those are the two markers you are thinking about, I thought you needed to pass outside the black top marker, or between the red top and the island. I thought the shallowest area is between the two markers.
You wrote that it is 2 black tops and I don't see them on my chart therefore I'm not sure we are talking about the same place.
It is true that passage past markers is not always by the intuitive route. Check the chart.  |
Its the companion buoy to FL#30 that is also black. So when navigating the preferred route, you pass between that black buoy and the black buoy off the tip of Bear. That, I believe, is the confusing aspect of it.
(That spot is a lot more clear on my old Duncan chart)
