Report Review
Be careful of water depth alongside the long dock. Informed there was 9’ MLW along the dock. At the mid point the depth rapidly decreases from 10’ to 5’ of firm sand and rock. Do not back in if you need more than 5’. We need 7’ and backed the rudders and props hard aground. If you go bow in you are fine to 9’ provided props/rudders are toward the outer third of the dock. Took sounding with a pole and told Dockmaster of depth discrepancy and us striking rudders and props. She didn’t seem to comprehend the severity of the depth misinformation.
