The scary thing about running in shallow water is how abruptly the boat will stop and if passengers will hit anything from a violent stop . I have pulled the James bond run over a small sand bar at dusk it was about 6' of bare sand maybe 2'' out of the water I was standing came off my feet and rolled my ankle when I landed but the friction was short lived due to the short distance. It felt like a medium car brake force of forward body motion the boat must have come up quickly in height then dropped back down that was more of the jolt . This was the smaller ls series hull

At least our boats don't have and outboard to put the breaks on. You might just skim right over it. Obviously you wouldn't want to do this if you sea land.

The pink/purple birds/ducks indicate different types of marine sanctuaries or estuary area zones/nature reserve areas. These can be environmentally sensitive sea areas or areas with minor restrictions and/or information notices.

Navionics question

Anyone know what the hell those pink duck looking things are, on the Navionics charts?
