Thanks Brian! By any chance do you have that chart handy to give me the Coordinates to the Great Egg Bouy? My charts are on the boat and I am not at the shore right now. I'd like to plot the course at home if possible.
Thanks again,
40*11.1N / 074*00.0W SHARK RIVER INLET
40*05.5N / 074*00.8W MANASQUAN INLET
39*44.5N / 074*03.8W BARNEGAT INLET
39*28.8N / 074*12.8W LITTLE EGG INLET
39*18.9N / 074*24.0W ABSECON INLET
39*16.2N / 074*31.9W GREAT EGG HARBOR INLET
Note: I gave you all the outer sea buoy coordinates for these inlets. These are 1.5-4nm off the shore, and you may prefer to run further off. However, straight lines between these points should keep you in water of at least three fathoms, and usually a lot more.
Also, you can not run directly from Shark River to Great Egg, due to the curvature of the NJ coast..
