5th Edition
Pages 4, 19, 21 and 22
Delete the Bimini entrance GPS waypoint (25° 42.54’ N; 79° 18.41’ W). Use the following on-site GPS waypoints to locate the entrance channel: 25° 42.04’ N, 79° 18.75’ W; and 25° 42.08’ N, 79° 18.59’ W. These GPS readings, which were taken August 8, 2000, are in line with the entrance range. The latitude and longitude grids, as reproduced from the original NIMA charts, are not accurate. Do not plot GPS waypoints on these charts. A shifting sand bar (Henry Bank) requires good visibility on the approach.

Delete purple line entering/exiting the southern entrance to Elizabeth Harbour. The waypoints provide a starting and ending point to transiting the difficult entrance. The purple line shows a general direction between the two, but it is not a course to be followed. Good visibility and a lookout are essential when traversing this passage.
Approach all areas with caution and only in good visibility.
