Agreed, Nebe.............
Never felt that Hazard and The Tail are nearly as dangerous as say working the mouth of the Narrow and DH. What's illusive about DH and Carpenter's is that both spots present themselves as doable and more docile than they actually are.
In other words, at first glance they appear to be "easy", whereas with names like Hazard and the very nature of the rocks at The Tail your guard and senses are already "UP", so to speak. It's the sneaky rip, rogue wave, hidden pocket/bowl while wading that often places us in harm's way.
We can NEVER take too many precautions and it doesn't hurt to feesh with a partner, or in lieu of a partner in places like the aforementioned spots a PFD is a MUST when going solo. Just my thoughts................
