We are planning a trip from Charlotte Harbor Fl. down to the Dry Tortugas in May. I have heard that the usual northern approach to the anchorage on the east side has shoaled in and the charts from just a couple years ago are no longer good (new charts show it is still navigable but I'm not sure of the accuracy of them). Has anybody been there recently? Can I still get to the anchorage from the north or do I have to come around the west side of the island and get into the anchorage from the south. Also, when sailing from Ft. Jefferson to Key West, is the best route on the south side of the islands (through the SW channel) or the north. Any information from someone who has been there would be appreciated.
