Nach ergiebigen und hinreichenden Tiefenmessungen hat das CSIG Survey Team der Lough Derg Branch „Fergal & Brain“, die im Anschluß auf der Karte gezeichnete Route als relativ sicher betrachtet. Diese Karte dient ausschließlich nur zur Information über die Navigation in der Scarriff Bay zu Castlebawn. Die Karte ist nicht zum Navigieren geeignet. Bei solchen Routen empfiehlt es sich immer den Tiefenmesser und die Karte im Auge behalten.
