I was a little apprehensive about entering the harbor due to low water. I own a Jeanneau 440, 5’2” draft. The channel was well marked, buoy #1 was lit and all channel markers appeared to be on station. Don’t be scared of the actual entrance because between the two points the water actually gets deeper. It’s lowest at buoy #3. Can’t wait to go back the place was beautiful.
