Sacramento Reef

29° 44.0′ N · 115° 46.0′ W

The 'ship-killer' reef off Punta San Antonio, 38 nm south of San Quintín, where the coastal route turns offshore to cross Bahía Vizcaíno.

Practical

Position from the GeoNames entry for Sacramento Reef/Rocks. The Log: pass about 10 nm west of Punta San Antonio to clear the reef; northbound boats should hold a course well west of it or rest at Fondeadero San Carlos first. This is the start of the 85-90 nm offshore hop to the north end of Isla Cedros.
