Running the Inlet at Fernandina

[Jeanneau 45.2]

Fernandina, Charleston, Barnegat inlet, the list goes on of submerged jetties along the Atlantic seaboard. No pity for any fool who navigates by braille ... all clearly marked on the charts, noted on Active Captain, etc. That is why there is a safe water buoy at inlets.

Try 4-5 million. All of our insurance policies just went up by a few bucks...
