Whats worse than getting your timing down with the ferrys is the super tankers coming through that channel. They haul butt! We were playing around in that same shipping channel last Feb and came flying out past the jetty to get outta the way. We worked our way up past the ferrys when there was a tanker heading out. We had better than a mile head start, and probably less than a 1/4 mile by the time we made it back to open water. I couldn't believe how fast those things move. Somebody told me down there the faster they go the better control they have. I'm pretty sure we would have been the loosers in that collision.
