I've been through there a few times but perhaps not in season. It don't

the Fall?


Labor Day weekend from the south was our bad time. Just in from Howell
point, we ran into a field that I didn't feel safe running under power.
The dotted red line between the official buoys was pretty much free, but
the starting buoy is a bit further north than our path. Heck, we'd lived
on the Sass for some years and we were darned if we'd run from buoy to
buoy in such a safe area ;-) We can pass within yards of Howell point
with sufficient depth, which put us a mile or so south of the line
"between the buoys".

If you're coming in from the north, I suspect you miss the field
entirely. If you run the suggested path well away from Grove or Howell
Points, you probably won't notice anything.
