Came through this area on 4/10 about 2 hours before low tide. A dredge is sitting on the shoal marked by G47a. Followed Bob423 track closely and saw no less than 12ft. There is a yellow can to the south of 47a which I believe is associated with the dredge operation and not an ATON.

We came through today at 11:00a EST, and saw shallows of 6.4' under the hull. Depths were mostly above 10' under the hull. Wilko was in the channel dreging today.
