Is that out and down AROUND Monomoy? I'll check it out on Google Earth.

I realize what you are saying is true. Then however, at higher tides there was a cut through from Harding's Beach/ mouth of Stage and Oyster Harbors that circle just south of Morris Island at the "bottom of Pleasant Bay and the base of Monomoy Island. That is what I tried to traverse - in a rather thick fog - visiblilty about 100 yrds. Got myself pushed into shallow water and it was running out faster than I could get my self out, thus I got stuck. TowBoat US got it the next morning and brought it into to Oyster River which was the original destination.
