Butch Boos from C&C sails forwarded a message from one of his customer about a new hazard.
"Just a heads up. Yesterday I found a new hazard in the bay. A pipe has been pulled up and is standing about 2 feet above the surface. It was not there on Friday but its there today. The pipe is located at 29o30.807? N by 94o55.064? W. Not too hard to see on calm day but in any waves it will be difficult to spot. In addition, the post is a distraction. I was paying attention to the post and did not see pipe until I was 50 or 60 feet away. "
Plotting it, it appears to be about 500 ft west of our Rum Race Mark SM54.
I plotted another pipe NE of H Mark, at approximately 29? 33.990N-94? 56.114W
