Yes, indeed, this is GOOD news, and we have confirmed that the AICW/Shallotte Inlet dredging project was indeed completed in early February, 2012. So, for at least a few months, depths and shoaling should not be a problem at this critical intersection. No guarantees six months from now!

Good news, we got through with no less than 14 feet at hour before low tide. obviously the dredging has been done and they are gone. the marker green # 81 is gone with just movable red markers guiding us through.

Apparently, from earlier reports and the report below, the December, 2011 dredging done in this stretch was successful. This typically troublesome intersection required dredging twice in 2011.
