Also, I wonder if the people that made that map in Southsky's post have ever been in the bay. The water south of the Fish River Reef is extremely shallow, around 4-6 feet.

A see a ferry as another opportunity for public transportation, another step to help us become less car-dependent down here. But yes, I've never had any big problems going over the bayway, and especially the causeway, unless there is a wreck or something.
At this point the plans are probably subject to change, but yes some areas it can get pretty shallow. Trenches? Flat bottom ferries?
