The whole bay was torn from a swamp in one day in The Hurricane Of 1938. It is
soft and subject to wind and wave continuously. It is considered a local
knowledge only harbor.

You're right, the shoaling shows up really clear. Looks like soon, if not
already, one will have to follow the channel to get out. Though I am a
power boater, I would guess a sailboat might be close to hitting bottom on
the shoal. Just curious, have you read anything to explain what is causing
the shoal to build up like that?
