Better look at the Photo because either delineation markers, a Fairway or
Bifurcation buoy would allow approach to that Island on either side at a
beam or broad reach from the shown wind conditions. I don't see any traffic
to back your claims that powerboats would impede progress of a 32 foot
sailboat to destination on a clear sunny afternoon with moderate/favourable
winds.

Your boating skills are not only in question... but absent from any
indication you have provided. Please clarify your statement
