🧠 Why Wilson Inlet Needs a Dedicated Chart

Estuaries behave very differently from open coastlines. This chart helps skippers:

• Plan safe routes through shallow waters

• Understand depth variation across the inlet

• Identify navigation aids and limits

• Maintain situational awareness in tight, low-speed environments

• Operate safely in recreational and small-craft zones

This is a working navigation tool, designed for real on-water use—not a decorative map.
