Hi folks,

Diana and I transited the Little Mud River this morning and took several screenshots with depth annotations.

Figure they may be useful to anyone else headed through there soon.

But I don't know if you can (or I don't know how to) link screenshots to posts on the LIst, so I'll include a link to the original Facebook post:

or

We'll try and capture the rest of the known trouble spots as we head north and post them up also.

Best,

Mark

For all the reports of shoaling on the Little Mud, has there ever been a report of a grounding?
I try to go through on a rising tide but that is not always possible.  For that spot, I just press on with the depth sounder screaming all the way.  I have never felt any resistance on the hull in the shallowest places.  The bottom must be so soupy that it triggers the sounders but do not stop the boat.  Other places I have ended up plowing through but never on the little mud.
