Just posted on Explorer Charts this morning. I'm hoping they will have this situation figured out by May but....
Bimini Channel, no buoys
Posted: 12 Mar 2010 12:40 PM PST
The Bimini entry channel has no buoys at this time. BEWARE. The boat PARADOX went up on the sand bar on 3/11/2010 in breaking waves and although salvaged is severely damaged. This channel is dangerous in any moderate to strong westerlies; if you aren’t familiar with it get help. (Editor’s Note: See the February 2010 updated chart of this channel at www.explorercharts.com under Free Updates, Near Bahamas, which details the current channel location and recent shoaling.)
Randy,
I don't remember if there were buoys in place when I was there in the Fall. I think all that was there were the goal posts on the beach that you line up for the approach. It brings you in from a more Southerly angle. Try explaining that one over the radio BTW. In any event, the chart plotter was spot on and the goal posts are a back up too.
Another windy day here. Can't wait to go. Tom
