True, if u see a large gap between rocks u CANNOT pass thru there.

That red line doesn't look like much, but that's a 1-1/2 mile stretch of rocks. When you are running through there you really have to have your head on a swivel. Like Feesherman said, there will be some large gaps where the rocks are not visible, but your lower unit will find them if you try to cross. I've seen choppy days with extreme high tides that will make the rocks all but disappear for yards at a time. If you zoom in on Google Earth you can see the rocks clearly.
The shallow spot that W talked about in the north entrance to West Cove is just that. Shallow! If you go flying in there, and the tide is really low, you can find yourself 100 yds into the cove sitting on bottom. Late fall and winter time, low tide, north wind blowing 15 to 20 is a sure bet you will get stuck there. Always feel your way in if you think the tide may be too low. If you start kicking up mud get out.
