There have been two incidents recently where boats were disabled after hitting a stump off the NE end of what I call the second island. The USCG have finally said they will look into marking the channel.

You should not have seen less than 8' of water if you were on track. I'd be happy to show you the line if I am out.

Hope all is well with you and yours.

We followed the channel markers as much as we could find them. Unfortunately both of our gps units didn't work there. We don't have the inland river card, just the bay and gulf to try and follow the channel on the gps unit. We were going slow because of his water pump problems and got into about 2' of water. Hope your hand heals and all is well.

I always wanted to check that area out.

Come by boat or car weather permitting.

Do they have these races every year?

Yes, except this year it was moved to the new marina down river from Banana Bend. A lot better place and I expect it to take place there again in January.
