The problem - the charted shoal west of flashing daybeacon #8 has been building farther to the south and east. The markers have been moved accordingly. Some non-updated electronic charts will take you too far west as you approach the gap between #7 and #8.
The solution - download the latest version of chart 11553 from NOAA. Cruise from unlighted daybeacon #9 directly to a point about 50 yards west of flashing daybeacon #7. Do NOT blindly follow your chartplotter.
