What’s ‘The Point’?

The Point is 34 to 42 miles southeast of the Oregon Inlet sea buoy, at 35.32.57 to 35.33.00 (north) by 74.50.67 to 74.84.00 (west).

It appears as a box canyon where the deep shelf has eroded into the upper shelf, as though a chunk was removed from the slope. Start searching for a steep drop-off once you’ve reached the 560-590 line and dropped from 40 to 50 fathoms. The bottom of the “box” is 400 fathoms and appears suddenly.
