South Seas Resort Plantation Has New Entrance Channel (St. M. 13.5)
If memory serves, and sometimes it does not, this is the second time that the South Seas channel has been altered within the past two years. All skippers bound for this popular port of call need to take note!!!
Subject: South Seas Resort New Channel
Cruising News: South Seas Resort on Captiva Island has a new channel configuration. The new channel is a “dog leg” arrangement that starts at Red Fish Pass and goes to the ICW’s marker #38. At the ICW end you will see red #24 that starts the channel heading West to South Seas. So be sure to take the red markers on your port side heading to the resort. I was in there on Oct.19, 2009 and did not see less than 6.5 feet through the entire channel. Also local knowledge states that Red Fish Pass has at least 6′ of water and is passable again.
Enjoy
