And sometimes it defies logic!!

Case in point - you actually split between two black tops when passing FL#30 on a course away from Mark Isl toward safe water between Jolly & Camp (and vise versa) and NOT changing compass heading I might add for those who want to get picky -- I have checked the chart a thousand times to be sure!!

This little quirk has baffled me for years!!

I'm sure there are others similar - this one happens to be on one of our regular routes
