Traversing the Isle of Wight

[pohocker]

Heading south from the Rt.90 bridge, can you cut across to the north side of the Thorofare, or are you better off going all the way to the junction at the south end? I know pontoons do it all the time, but I draw a couple of feet of water and didn't want to try it without asking first.
Thanks.

we always go around but have seen many cut across with smaller boats,,,maybe not a problem at high tide, but I wouldnt recomend it.

If you draw a couple ft of water, follow the bouys. I run aground while drifting my pontoon boat quite often in the middle of the bay. Especially in that east channel.

not to drift off the topic but are they ever gonna' do any dredging of the back bay, esp when/if they build that second Rt50 bridge into OC
