Dismal Swamp State Park is getting back into full swing as they recover from massive flooding and closure due to Hurricane Matthew. Dredging has begun and the canal is scheduled to re-open to navigation by summer’s end. The State Park is open and continuing programs as weather permits. Our thanks to Donna Stewart for this USACE update.

One step closer to seeing boaters again! My most recent update from the USACE. READ MORE FOR NEW PHOTOS!

I was able to obtain a few pictures today of the installation of the Deep Creek Lock River Gates. The gates are returning back to the water, where they belong! It was so HOT. But, notice the reflection of the sky in the shot of the newly installed gate on the left. I was told dredging still must be completed at the Feeder Ditch and Turner’s Cut, but this is one more step to getting us reopened. Many thanks to US Facilities and the Norfolk District USACE for helping me to get these shots today.

LNM: Upcoming Maintenance, Alligator River Bridge, AICW Statute Mile 84

July 12, 2017 by: Larry Dorminy Leave a Comment

Calls to the bridge tender and the project foreman gave no indication regarding the impact on navigation this year-long maintenance will have. However, with divers in the water and a crane barge in the channel, extreme caution must be used when passing through this large swing bridge. Also a call to the tender (252-796-7261) on your approach would be wise. Alligator River Bridge is noted for being unable to open when winds exceed 35mph.

NC – INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY – ALLIGATOR RIVER– BRIDGE MAINTENANCE
An engineering firm, on behalf of North Carolina Department of Transportation, will be performing maintenance at US 64 (Alligator River Bridge) over Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (Alligator River), mile 84.2, in Columbia, NC. READ MORE!

Maintenance personnel, equipment and vessels will relocate from the moveable span and navigable channel, upon request. Work vessels
may be reached on VHF-FM channel 16. The project foreman can be reached at (919) 437-4763 or (757) 449-4652. Mariners should notify the work foreman no less than one hour prior to navigating through the area and should use extreme caution when transiting the area. Chart 11553 LNM 28/17

Our thanks to Phillip Mullins for this detailed report and advice. Boaters are reminded that shoaling and groundings are always possible in the constantly sands of the New River Inlet/AICW Intersection area. See /164006 for an April report from this Problem Stretch.

New River Inlet [heading south]. New red buoy 72A up the river from the waterway crossing at red #72.
Must look 90 deg. up river and spot this marker, it has recently been moved. When we made this crossing last week there was a square marker tied to a tree limb directly ahead from red day mark 72 and if you go to it, you will be aground. You must turn to the right and look up river to see the red 72 C buoy and go to it.

Tiki bar and Toucan grill still open and food great. Wifi strong as is Verizon. Great dog spots right off back of boat. Showers great- even provide towels. Very sheltered marina and Joe-dock hand- the best. Don’t know yet re the w/d or cable. Small grocery less than a mile away- nice for bicycle ride. Still one of our very favorites!

Dismal Swamp Canal Slated to Re-Open by End of Summer, AICW Alternate Route

May 18, 2017 by: Larry Dorminy Leave a Comment

Click Here For a Full Sized ChartView Page

Dismal Swamp Canal has been closed to navigation due to massive flooding and shoaling due to Hurricane Matthew. Despite the canal’s closure, the State Park has continued public programs as weather has permitted. The re-opening of the canal is good news for cruisers wanting to experience the beauty and solitude of the Great Dismal Swamp Canal. Our thanks to Donna Stewart for forwarding this notice.

Subject: Corps announces timeline to reopen Dismal Swamp Canal

NORFOLK, Va. — Officials at the Norfolk District, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers have announced a goal of opening the Dismal Swamp Canal to its full 6-foot depth late this summer. READ MORE!

The canal, which was closed due to extensive damage from Hurricane Matthew in October, has ongoing debris and tree removal, and investigations of shoaling at many locations in the canal. Shoaling in the canal has reduced the depth to as little as 1 foot in areas.

Norfolk District engineers are using recent surveys of the canal to plot the 22 miles of the canal and the 3 miles of the Feeder Ditch to Lake Drummond. The data will be used to check for additional shoals and other obstructions.

Crews are currently dredging the canal at the Feeder Ditch using information from the canal survey. They will then perform additional dredging at Turners Cut, south of the South Mills Lock.

The Norfolk District is also working with the Wilmington District to remove a small shoal in the Deep Creek Channel. District engineers project the canal work at the Feeder Ditch work to take the longest; work there will be complete by late-June.

After canal repairs are completed, District engineers will evaluate whether to open the canal at a restricted depth until the 6-foot depth is achieved.

At Lake Drummond Reservation and the Feeder Ditch, crews have repaired damaged buildings. Additional work at Lake Drummond Reservation included repairs on the floating docks, roadway washout and the boat tram, which will be scheduled this winter.

Work on the Deep Creek Locks gates, which was scheduled before the storm, is progressing. Work on replacing the water control valves and deteriorated steel is ongoing and will be completed within the next week. Final work and painting will then be done and the gates will be placed back into the lock in June.

LNM: Bogue Inlet ATONs Removal, AICW Statute Mile 227

May 17, 2017 by: Larry Dorminy Leave a Comment

Hopefully, this temporary removal of inlet Nav Aids is in anticipation of dredging of Bogue Inlet. See /163904 for comments on projected dredging. Bogue Inlet/AICW intersection has been a shoaling Problem Stretch for years and will be positively affected by dredging of the Inlet itself.

Coast Guard temporarily discontinues 12 navigational aids in Bogue Inlet, NC READ MORE!

WILMINGTON, N.C. – The Coast Guard temporarily discontinued 12 navigational aids Monday in Bogue Inlet, near Emerald Isle and Swansboro.

Heavy shoaling in the vicinity of Bogue Inlet has grown over recent months making the waterway inaccessible to vessels with a draft greater than three feet. The aids to navigation (ATON) no longer safely mark the channel and mariners transiting through Bogue Inlet do so at their own risk.

The ATON listed below have changed and currently do not accurately mark the waterway, which can be more dangerous to mariners than having no ATON:

* Bogue Inlet Buoy 6A (LLNR 29525 [34°38.7707N / 077°6.4090W, 34.646179 / -77.106816])

* Bogue Inlet Buoy 7 (LLNR 29530 [34°38.9066N / 077°6.5229W, 34.648444 / -77.108715])

* Bogue Inlet Buoy 8 (LLNR 29535 [34°38.9879N / 077°6.4788W, 34.649799 / -77.107980])

* Bogue Inlet Buoy 10 (LLNR 29540 [34°39.0489N / 077°6.3416W, 34.650815 / -77.105693])

* Bogue Inlet Buoy 11 (LLNR 29550 [34°39.4269N / 077°5.9216W, 34.657115 / -77.098693])

* Bogue Inlet Buoy 12 (LLNR 29555)

* Bogue Inlet Buoy 13 (LLNR 29557 [34°39.6536N / 077°5.8361W, 34.660893 / -77.097269])

* Bogue Inlet Buoy 14 (LLNR 29559 [34°39.7465N / 077°5.8784W, 34.662441 / -77.097974])

* Bogue Inlet Buoy 15 (LLNR 29560 [34°39.9494N / 077°5.9366W, 34.665824 / -77.098943])

* Bogue Inlet Buoy Lighted Buoy 16 (LLNR 29563 [34°40.0494N / 077°5.8290W, 34.667490 / -77.097150])

* Bogue Inlet Buoy 17 (LLNR 29565 [34°40.2713N / 077°5.7574W, 34.671189 / -77.095956])

* Swansboro Coast Guard Channel Junction Buoy CG (LLNR 29605)

The Army Corps of Engineers plans to return to the Inlet to conduct additional dredging in June, after which time the Coast Guard will re-establish the ATON.

“The Coast Guard is responsible for providing navigational systems, information and services that enable safe navigation,” said Lt. Eunice A. James, Chief of Waterways Management Division at Sector North Carolina. “We will continue to work with federal, state and local partner agencies to address safety concerns to waterway depth and safe placement of navigational aids.”

Consult the Local Notice to Mariners, 5th Coast Guard District for the latest positions and status of ATON at: http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/?pageName=lnmDistrict&region=5

To report any ATON discrepancies, shoaling, or hazards to navigation, please contact the Sector North Carolina Command Center at 910-343-3882.

The U.S. Coast Guard will continue to monitor the conditions of the waterway and update mariners as necessary.

Our most recent report on clearance at Wilkerson Creek Bridge is from experienced tall-master, Rick Dammeyer, and dated 10/14, so update comments are needed. If you carry 64ft mast height and have passed under this bridge successfully (or not!?!), please let Bill hear from you.

Wondering about the height of the water at the Wilkerson Bridge and whether or not a boat with 64 ft mast will be able to get under the bridge.

March 15: Sadly, this estate sale of a fine owner-operated marina marks the end of an era. Owner, Wanda Pritchett, is beginning a well deserved retirement after establishing a reputation for personal, first-name-basis involvement with all visitors. Alligator River Marina lies on the western shore of the mouth of the Alligator River/AICW, just north of the swing bridge and southwest of flashing daybeacon #12. This facility provides the ONLY readily available dockage and fuel along the patch of the AICW between Coinjock, Elizabeth City and Dowry Creek/Belhaven! Our thanks to Tom Beaty for this notice.

Looks like Wanda is finally calling it quits and putting Alligator River Marina, the former ferry landing, up for sale. Bidding closes Tuesday April 4th. Act now!
Tom Beaty

April 25
Alligator Marina has been sold and new owners will take over in May.
In the meantime, Wanda wants to remind everyone that the marina is still open, accepting transients, selling fuel, etc. The marina is NOT CLOSED!

Tell Larry I just got a call from Alligator marina…new owners will not take over until end of May and it remains open to transients and is still selling fuel.
Evidently Wanda has seen erroneous postings elsewhere and wants all to know she is still in business.
