DETAILS: Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

Mariners are warned that the Ocean Entrance to Shallow Inlet continuously changes in position and depth and the Bar is regarded as extremely dangerous, particularly during the ebb tide and in poor weather and sea conditions.
Mariners are warned of the existence of extensive foul ground south and south east of the No.2 buoy. Depths over the foul ground can dry at low water.
Mariners are advised that passage through the Entrance and the Bar should only be attempted by experienced persons with sound local knowledge and only at times of high water, fair weather and smooth sea conditions. Passage through the Entrance and the Bar increases risk management levels and may adversely affect personal safety. Operating vessels through the Entrance and Bar should be avoided during times of heightened risk.
