Goole Approach to Ocean Lock

(Original dated 1990)

 

18. A vessel should pass 2 cables E of Beaumont Island whence she should hold a midchannel course all the way to Fisher Channel, as there are no outlying dangers. On leaving the S entrance to Johnson Channel steer to give Sunny Island Light structure a berth of 1½ cables.

19. A small vessel bound from Lama Passage through Gunboat Passage should pass N of Bella Islets and in mid-channel S of Cypress Island. Then, keeping in deep water, pass between Calver Point and the E end of Cypress Island.

20. A vessel entering Tolmie Channel from S should do so through Sarah Passage, the only danger being Hazard Rock on its S side. Thence keep in mid-channel and take care to avoid Parry Patch off Split Head. If coming from N, when abreast of Tenas Island Light structure, keep towards the E shore.

21. When the front light-beacon of the leading marks on Deepwater Point bears 180º, the vessel will be in deep water well clear of Hastings Reef, alter course towards Deepwater Point and follow the trend of the shore, which is steep-to, between that point and George Point, keeping not more than 1 cable offshore to avoid the E end of Haswell Reef.

22. As Entry Point is approached, care is necessary to avoid being set towards Troup Bank. It should be borne in mind that a N wind causes a heavy scend over the bars which may last for several days.

23. Pass 2 cables off the settlement of Masset and keep in mid-channel until Griffith Point is in line with Crowell Point bearing 344º; then steer about 147º to pass between the rock off Watun River and the shallow ridge lying off the W shore.
