This looks like an accident that happened at Deale, MD, a few years back. If following the GPS and
coming from the north/northeast, the GPS will attempt to cross the jetty. Looks like maybe the same
thing may have happened here.

Damn shame.


I suppose that is the difference between straight GPS and true chart
plotter software.

Approaching an inlet at high speed in the dark is really not a good
idea no matter what you are navigating with.


Hard to beat local knowledge.
