After 4 months on the hard we are finally leaving Oak Harbor Marina with our 36 Lancer along Rock Creek / Potapso on Tuesday. Navigating to Parkside Marina, Middle River. I see that we can save a lot of time cutting through Pleasure Island. I am looking for help on this cut through. Is this like Kent Narrows or easier? Is it well marked? Thanks, Dave

Don't do it. We keep our boat at MYC on Rock Creek and don't try that shortcut drawing 4.5 on. A 35 C&C. You would save 1.5 miles at best and the risk of a hard grounding in a shallow area nit worth it plus a multitude of crab pots. The passage is for power boaters. Good luck.
