So OK ... Time to haul out Vee Jay for inspection. Closest haul out up Haldeman Creek, accessible only on +3 tide ...
20 minute ride ... cleared all high spots by at least 6 in.
Mangroves to the right, Mangroves to the left.
Little white boxes are a trailer park with double wides [24 ft]

Definitely not wanting oncoming traffic.
Slings in water when you get there ... as the well is only good down to +1.5 tide. But also considering that strong E wind knocks down tide .5 ft. over 3 hours ... This is Swamp Ville tide back water. Air temp ~90, Water temp similar.

[note exact placement of dots ... by shaky hand]

about like some of the creeks on the Ohio around here EXCEPT here if you go in the water you are at the top of the food chain, still 5-2 is a little tight
