Galliot Cut

23° 55.0′ N · 76° 17.2′ W · approximate

A serious cut marked by high white cliffs on the north side and a light set well south of the point on Cave Cay — spectacular in slack water, genuinely dangerous when it rages.

Practical

Ebb against an outside sea makes this cut dangerous. Stand off until the current subsides if it looks wrong; conditions in the centre will be worse than they look from outside. Position estimated.
