    There is an anchored (abandoned) sailboat that has distracted vessels at this turn near 40a and caused groundings. Do not "follow" this sailboat when heading north (east) <br /> <br /> I (Sea Tow) recently had to unground a 35' MJM from this location due to this distraction, according to the operator

    Between R40A and R40, there's a private R2 on the east side of the of the channel and should be ignored.

    We followed Bob423's long track through here and saw a minimum of 9.7 feet depth MLLW.
