NOTICE TO MARINERS.
SANDY CAPE SHOAL.
As some doubt exists as to the distance which the Bare Hill should be kept open West of the bush on Bush Patch, in order to pass clear to the westward of Sandy Cape Shoal, Mariners are hereby advised that when a vessel is on the line shown on the chart for clearing the shoal to the westward, the relative positions of the bush and Bare Hill will be just the reverse of those shown by view D for clearing it to the eastward. Care should be taken, however, not to bring these marks on until the vessel is some 4 miles northward of the Cape, as within that distance they lead very close to the outer edge of Breaksea Spit.
