Anyone run a boat through Packery Channel lately?

I usually go out Port A jetties when weather cooperates but will have a place closer to packery and have never run it. I know it's much more shallow and the jetties are shorter leading to iffy conditions. Will be running a 21' bay boat that drafts about 11". Any tips heading out from there?

Be careful going out when there is an outgoing tide from the bay through the jetties. We had an oh **** moment once. If the seas are 3ft plus and the tide is ripping out those waves will stand up and drop right over the bow. If it's calm no worries. If it's a bit rough check the tides.

I know people that do it on calm days but even if it's 2's ...with a 22' I don't try and leave the bay through packery.
