I was thinking the same thing. There is another video of another Captain who states to start your navigation into the inlet from the BI Bouy. This would avoid having to navigate northward if you were coming from the south. However, I believe there can be very large breakers in that outer channel therefore I suppose it would be safer to go up north like this Captain is saying, then head south to Red Bouy #6.
Nope boated there for 20 years rock wall goes to the daymarker as I mentioned this is local knowledge. From what you understand ? Like what you were told ? Or you navigate through there all the time and know this? The way I explained helped many boaters and for other who look at a map have ran aground. . I wouldn't steer people wrong lol
Having sailed Barnegat Inlet for close to 40 years, I must say that your comments such as "ignore the markers" etc. are really beyond reason. Incidentally the north "wall" as you describe it is also known as a breakwater. This should be the first clue that your info is a lot less than helpful. Study upo, take your time, and maybe in the future you can provide helpful and SAFE info.
Thanks for the kind words. Over your 40 years of sailing I do believe the inlet has been dredged and shoaled over in all sorts of ways. When I made this video at the time I am telling the current conditions of entering and exiting the inlet. My words are to be used as a guideline. I say wall.. you say breakwater guess . We are both wrong cause its really the "North Jetty " same shit you hit it you sink. lol I say markers. you say buoy. same thing its a object in the water that is a navigation mark. A buoy "Marks the channel" therefore its a marker. And I have got many messages thanking me for giving safe passage to boaters who were scared to enter the inlet. It was helpful and they made it in and out safe.
Captain Mike has shared years of knowledge in this very informative video...it's a must see.
Thank you Captain Rich!
why make the cut like that? why not go to the BI Buoy as marked and head straight in, wouldn't that be the "safest" approach according to charts?

Be extremely careful with an outgoing tide and east southeast wind
I think you just ran everyone aground. From what I understand that rock wall continues past that red maker #6 and you should come in from maker #1
