For those of you who are unfamiliar with Dunedin, the finish line of the Macho, the entrance to Hurricane Pass and the waters right off the haul-out beach can have some significant shoals depending on the tide. It will be full moon on March 19 so the tide will be dropping fast all afternoon. You will find a strong outgoing current in the pass and if you finish anytime after 4:00 pm it will be getting pretty shallow. You'd hate to sail a tough 6+ hours only to run hard aground 100 yards from the beach.

In this image, the white triangle just inside the bay is directly off the landing point and is an unseen shoal in the afternoon sun. It may look deep as you sail in the pass under a sea breeze and perhaps spinnaker. If you're sailing a board boat, be careful! Plan on sailing around that triangle area, either side.
