Re: Danger Lefkada Canal!!!

Quote:
approaching from the north.leave the green buoy at least 3 m to stb.the depth changes quickly,if there is no wind you can see the sand spit.keep close to the sand spit going west and go round the bight. there is plenty of room keep away from the red buoys.I have seen so many yachts cut across the corner,in the rush when the bridge opens.this forces yachts going north having come through the bridge to hug the red buoys.dont do it.there is 6m+ in the centre of the channel.Remember the buoyage changes a quarter way up the canal south of lefkas marina.I have taken 15m wide barges through with the tug drawing 4.5 m no problem.
this 5 or 6 meters line is not to be found one month ago---- it changes fast there -- but my point is: sand, mud or marsh that could be expexted is not that big deal to hit -- but someone has put down stones or concrete sections and the red buoy line is on the wrong ( south ) side of several of these.
I AGREE IN THE REST WHAT YOU SAY AND ESPECIALLY: KEEP AWAY AT LEAST 10 METERS FROM THE RED BUOYS - AND IF THERE IS A LOT OF TRAFFIC GOING SOUTH -- RATHER TRY TO WAIT THEN TO MEET THERE BECAUSE "YOUR LANE" IS DANGEROUS AREA.
