First and foremost --
Remember to use your head and also consult with the Chart if even mildly in doubt !!!
Two particular spots that always threw me for my early years boating here were (1) Spars at FL#30 -- between Bear & Mink (2) Black Top off the Southern Edge of Treasure Isl. amongst 2 -3 other places.
All can be explained (and I fully understand today) but both will throw ya for a loop when your only staring at a compass ! Especially FL30 where visually you "appear" to be splitting two black Tops (they are actually somewhat staggered and thus not companions).
