There are no swift currents in this area at all. Berkley marina is located deep on the berkely flats...currents dont really exists except in the outer channels...The bottom is basically dead flat mud...The avg water depth is around 15 feet in the harbor and channel, and less on the surrounding flats. They could check this "signature" in less then an hour if they wanted to. In fact you could probably reach this "signature" with a long pole at low tide.

Some questions,since you obviously have knowledge of the area and marine conditions.I have only driven by the marina,as a tourist,can you orient me to the area where they have gotten the hit? Is it in an area in full view or in a less visible area, along the shore? If it is an area visible to the highway,marina,etc-would it be possible to offload a body,in daylight,without attracting some kind of attention?Logic would say no,but the Bay area is so large,it might be possible. The picture I saw of the boat looked like it had very little freeboard-would the boat rock,if someone was dragging and dumping a deadweight over the side, thus attracting attention? I know 2 men can fish in the front of a bass boat,without causing a tip,but, that's 2 people distributing their weight differently than the possible situation here. Is the marina locked overnight? If so, could someone launch a boat elsewhere at night,drop the body and then return in the daytime,to get their receipt/alibi at the marina?
