Little Bank

[John Sporck]

Is there any information regarding official and unofficial aids-to-navigation on the bank, or entering the bank? For example, any towers that are extinguished or markers that are off-station/removed from the planet.

I assume you are talking about the western aspect of the Little Bahama Bank. The only official aids to navigation are the light on Indian Cay Rock, and the spile just NW of it.

You can enter the bank 2 miles south of Memory Rock; as you work your was easy, don't turn north of due east until you've cleared the sand bores to the north, a distance of about two miles from Memory Rock.

When departing from Ft. Pierce, we enter the NW bank at 27-18N/079-09W; there are no obstructions for several miles in any direction.
