Northern Mouth of Alligator River

Posted by admin | Posted on 31-05-2009

Northern Mouth of Alligator River
(Statute Mile 81, North Carolina ICW)
The problem – the charted shoal west of flashing daybeacon #8 has been building farther to the south and east. The markers have been moved accordingly. Some non-updated electronic charts will take you too far west as you approach the gap between #7 and #8.
The solution – download the latest version of chart 11553 from NOAA. Cruise from unlighted daybeacon #9 directly to a point about 50 yards west of flashing daybeacon #7. Do NOT blindly follow your chartplotter.

RE: The Albermarle to Allegator River Problem Area. Is the “chartlet” shown taken from the most recent chart? I recently purchased a CD of (purportedly) the most recent charts and my chart doesn’t show the changes. Also if you use the “Chart View” for this area I see the old version of the chart.
