[Paddlewise] Fisherman's Island Va

We are planning a trip over the Easter weekend to the southern tip of the 
peninsula of Va. We want to paddle around Fisherman's Island and perhaps up 
to and around part of Smith Island. We were wondering if anyone knew of this 
area and could give us some information on the usual conditions. We know we 
will be on the ocean side of Smith and some ideas of what this means but we 
were wondering if we could get any details about anything unusual about that 
area.
    There is an area that seems to be a mystery called Smith Island Inlet 
that is labeled "Area subject to frequent change." What this means to 
kayakers I have no idea and am not real comfortable with. Does this mean it 
is sometimes a mud flat like other  areas around there or is there something 
else going on there? This is particularly important because if this is cut 
off it would substantially impact the length of the trip. It may even be 
questionable getting to Smith Island by going through Fishermans Inlet.
    We have other places we can paddle but this look very interesting.
