Intimidated Yet?

March 11th saw us under-sail from Rock Sound, Eleuthra to Allan Cay in the Exumas.
It took us 3 hours to cover the shallow water from Rock Sound to Powell Point where we finally found some depth. One of the charts we used during this travel was EL19 in the Explorer charts (Monty & Sarah Lewis). These are some of the notations from that chart - unsurveyed shifting sand bore / shallow sand / rocky bar / shallow hard bars / grass patches / sand dry at LW (low water) / sand, grass and widely scattered coral / awash LW / strong current / nearly dry at LW / unsurveyed area / poor holding / narrow - strong current - may shift
We safely arrived at the deep water in the Exuma Sound only to find the charts at the other end of our day's journey listed as VPR - "visual piloting rules apply in areas covered on this chart - good weather, sunlight, bottom reading and piloting skills required".
- and you thought we were just having fun !
