Default Florida Keys - Rocky Channel vs Big Spanish Channel (ICW)

Is anyone familiar with "Rocky Channel" going north from the
Marathon/Bahia Honda area? It looks like it has deeper water than Big
Spanish Channel which is a little further west. Rocky Channel appears
to have no navigational aids however which means that you would need
to rely strictly on the accuracy of the charts and/or eyeball
navigation.

Does anyone ever go through there, and if so, is it OK for 5 1/2 feet
of draft? If the chart can be believed, it looks like you could carry
7 feet all the way up to the gulf. Are there any coral heads or
shoaling to worry about?
