Please note that all buoys and landmasses were located by GPS after the differential was officially removed in late spring 2000.  Landmasses were given necessary clearance room.  These include:  Bernard’s Landing Island off “The Meadows”, Blackwater Shores shoal, CHI (Chimney Island) Crazy Horse Island ¾ past Island in a NNW direction in line with the PPYC travel lift pier and Chimney Island, Lakestone shoal marks, Rabbit Island, Rock Island and the 3 Islands at Contentment Island, off B-13. Nautical mileage assumes a start off Pelican Point Yacht Club (PPYC) in a line from the travel lift pier to Chimney Island, favoring the PPYC side.
