I don't think so!

Day #4: Today we moved south timing our arrival at Wiggins Pass for high tide. The winds were up a little from the northeast. The Gulf was calm enough but there was a surge from the west. We didn't think much about it until we arrived at Wiggins and saw kids surfing in the pass--never a good sign. As the picture above shows, Wiggins is very shallow. With good reason, the idea of breaking waves and shallow water wasn't appealing but we didn't bail out until after taking a closeup view with the dink. Comfortable with our decision to bypass Wiggins we headed farther south to the Naples Yacht Club. 35nm today and 77nm total.
