6. Pages 207-208: Reid Passage
From the S end of Reid Passage into Mathieson Channel
there appear to be significant cross-track errors when
using routes on electronic charting. This is due most
likely to 1) errors in the chart 2) magnetic anomalies.
A vessel's track can be as much as 75 yards W or S of
a waypoint taken off charts. Visual navigation is required.

CHS issued a Notice to Mariners in October 2003 as follows:
"Groundings have occurred by vessels attempting
to enter the unnamed cove on the west side of Emily
Carr Inlet near the entrance. The passage on the north
side of the large island in the entrance to this cove
is narrow, shallow and obstructed by drying rocks. The
west end of this passage has a large drying rock in
the centre. Mariners must favour the south side and
go close to a large fallen tree. Local knowledge and
prior reconnaissance at low water is recommended before
any attempt is made to enter this cove."
