Didn't Skipper Bob die? Most of the information I see now comes from
Claiborne Young

Simply get a book like Skipper Bob's Anchorages and read where the
shoaling is. You can get updates on-line. I annotate the book with the
updates and create warning symbols on the GPS course which warn me when
I'm heading into a area known to have problems. Following this
procedure I didn't have any issues this year, but I knew many people who
did and they were just following the R/Gs and didn't realize where the
shoaling was.

I have all the charts with notations (like the new buoys north of the
Alligator River bridge and the channel that is closed in Beaufort NC.)

But in this case, we'd been in Marathon all winter and hadn't seen
anything about this particular problem although the TBUS guy said that
a lot of people had run aground there.
