That's why I never use the compass and marker rules to navigate, they are just too limited. Given time you could find a dozen more spots like this. Some are documented in the old posts in this forum.
Use a reliable chart (Bizer) and stay out of the shallow spots.

This pic above is from the Bizer chart app...so if someone was using this they could very well end up on the wrong side of this. I know we go by here often enough but are usually further South in the channel there so never worry about it but it is odd that it's there like that...
