Landguard Pt to South Cork bouy

[Independence]

I draw approx 5.5 feet and am considering a course to Black Deep via Languard Point to South Cork and will be likely to be doing so at or near low water.

The course will take me to the southern tip of the Cork Sand and to a depth 0.5 above chart datum near the South Cork buoy itself.

I wouldn't normally choose to put myself in such shallow water but am working on the basis that with a keen eye on the echo sounder it should be fairly straight forward to get myslef into deeper water by heading south should I get a bit nervous (set aside a rising tide as well).

Does anyone have any thoughts or experience on this?

Thanks

Depth no problem but keep well 2 the west me south cork .no water there + loads of pots.

Sailorman is right. I think it is the most pot infested place I've ever been! Well worth a bit of room.

Landguard to the red buoy at the Rocks will put you on the right course to run south of the S Cork cardinal and out to sea via Black Deep. The depth in the S Cork area at LWS will be alarmingly little and there is a risk of touching in swells, but in all the passages I have made that way in all conditions, and drawing 1.95m, I have never (yet) touched.
Passed inwards last Sunday at LW and no probs!
