Out of respect for the Victims of the tragic event I started this thread on Crib Reef to keep this off of the Missing boaters thread!

GPS shows crib reef and the danger zone but the problem is that if you are not zoomed in you cannot determine exactly where the dangerous portion of the Reef lays. Example would be to plot a course from Green Island to Turtle Creek and follow that track with the entire track showing on the GPS screen that track may take you directly over Crib Reef depending on where you started your course plotting from. You would be unable to tell exactly where you are in relation to the danger zone on the crib reef and possibly the reef itself as you were passing by it or over it unless you were zoomed in.

Placing any marker in the area could solve the problem but may not be possible due to Laws governing the placement of objects that could be considered a hazard to navigation. That would have to be researched to find out the answer. In the 60's and early 70's there was a black barrel about the size of a flour barrel right at that big boulder. So it was not as big of a problem then as it is now! The danger was still there but was marked much closer than it is today.
