Whats the current depth into Tangier Island coming in from the west?

From the west is it fine. (that is from the Chesapeake Bay. You have
to take the markers in turn, there's a green 1, and then a second
green, and then over to the left a red so you come in and it looks
like you are going into the breakwater and then turn a run along side
of it to get around the red.

The markers change sides halfway through - so red is right coming in
and then on the left going out the to the Tangier Sound side.

Also hows the depth on the east side chennel?

After they leave Bob takes off the lines (the boat doesn't move from
the dock) and we motor out the channel toward Tangier Sound. The
depth sounder does go off, and Bob sees as little as 6 feet.

It was about 6 feet in places both times. However, we draw 5' and we
don't go aground until it is 4.6'
