Passing Eagle Island

[wtibert]

OK, I'm hopeful me this is a stupid question, but when passing to the north of Eagle Island, isn't there a really small "window" between the red and black markers that is safe passage? I don't know how many boats I saw today passing to the south between the black marker and the island.

Is there a channel or a passage that I'm missing that experienced lakers know, or are these just people gambling with their props?

Thanks.
