Hello Mike,

It is not the same place. Ironically it's the site of a very famous shipwreck- the Rhone- that is a popular dive site. The Rhone was also steel. I tell you- it's magnetic rocks!!! (LOL)

Actually I think not paying attention plays a part in these groundings, but I also do believe that trusting too much in electronic charts plays a part- just my opinion.
