Last Fall I was sailing by the island and my keel hit several times. I couldn't believe the large shallow area. And I have been sailing that area for years. But never as close to the the shoreline as I was.
My Cape dory only draws 3'6". My best guess is that some of the rocks are within 150' and others are just beyond 150' from Farm Island shoreline. I will take a GPS sounding and report back.

Were you on the Farm Island side of the two black buoys within that NWZ? There is definitely an extremely shallow area right between Farm and Chase, but it’s on the Farm side of the buoys.
