Alcatraz rocks.... Is this a Hat?

[q240z]

This reminds me of a marina called Tall Timbers on the lower Potomac, just inside the Herring Creek inlet. You pass the red buoy and the docks are right there off the starboard side. But you will hit rocks and oyster beds if you make a bee line to the docks. The charts don't show the rocks. Instead, you have to go straight for another 150 yards to the next red buoy and button hook around it. From there, it's a straight shot to the docks. I was fortunate to have somebody with local knowledge clue me in before I arrived.

I looked at an old Hatteras 50 or 53 MY there, a few years ago, for someone who was thinking about buying it. Interesting old marina, like something out of the sixties or seventies.
