I assume you are taking about the cut at Anguilla Point, right? We said no and passed on it a few weeks ago in a shoal-draft mono drawing just 4.5 ft. We watched several Cats with likely similar draft go through, but I just wouldn't take the chance. And it would have spared us at least 45 minutes in heavy rain and breaking seas to do it. But there was no scenario in the Anguilla cut with 30 knot easterly winds, even with winches loaded and ready, that an engine failure would have been safe.

My advice- unless you have done it before, go just a little farther NE and then pick up the marked channel into North Sound after you clear Mosquito Rock.
