Hazards south of FL 12 in Melvin Bay

Bizer shows just shallow (4 ft) on that side of the marker. Kind of like FL1 coming out of the Weirs. If those boats have a draft of 2 ft or less they are probably fine.

I draw 39". I think I'll stay north and east of that one... I routinely go on the wrong side of FL1 though.

Oh ya Dave, that is FL 1. Thanks

Bizer went back through all my 2001 depth readings. With the exception of the charted four-foot rock to the WSW, I have no readings less than 6.5 feet within 250m (300 yards) of FL12. The southwest side of FL12 is colored in blue on Bizer's chart just in case I overlooked something.

The black-and-white buoy 250m to the southwest of FL12 marks a rock less than one foot below the surface just to its southwest, as depicted on Bizer's chart.

As for FL01, I believe that buoy is primarily for the Mount Washington which has a draft of about nine feet. South of FL01 is mostly a huge sandbar with depths in the six-to-eight foot range.

Can somebody tell me three things: 1. Where is FL01, 2. What does FL stand for, and 3. Is there a pattern to the numbers of FL's?
