Gordon Pass Inlet Channel Shoaling Again, 3/11/11 (near Naples, Florida)

Posted by Claiborne | Posted on 01-01-2010

Gordon Pass is the primary inlet for all cruising craft entering and leaving Naples and Naples Bay. This passage was shoaling badly until January of 2010 when it was dredged. Now, according to the Local Notice to Mariners item listed below, shallows are beginning to once again encroach on this important channel. The shoaling seems to be taking place near markers #1 and #2, which are the westernmost aids to navigation with number designations on the inlet channel.
All mariners traversing Gordon Inlet should proceed with extra caution!

FLORIDA-WEST COAST-LOSMANS RIVER TO WIGGINS PASS-GORDON PASS CHANNEL: Shoaling.
Shoaling has been reported in the vicinity of Gordon Pass Channel DBN 1 (LLNR 17453) and Gordon Pass Channel LT 2 (LLNR 17455) in approximate position 26-05.492N 081-48.388W. All mariners are advised to transit the area with caution. [Ref: STP BNM 271-11]

IMPORTANT – Notice of Exposed Steel I-beam Near Middle Cape Sable, 3/25/11 (Southwestern Florida Coastline)

Posted by Claiborne | Posted on 12-31-2009

Wow, here’s a notice that sends a chill up my spine! We have charted the reported position of the exposed steel I-beam, and it lies right on the Everglades National Park boundary. Many cruisers follow this boundary because crab pots and fish traps are not allowed in park waters. I can just see someone cruising these waters at night, and meeting up with this scary piece of metal!
So if you are going to be cruising north or south past Cape Sable ANYTIME this year, be SURE to follow the “Navigation Alert” link below and make careful note of where this obstruction is located!!!!

FLORIDA-EVERGLADES NATIONAL PARK-FLORIDA BAY-EAST CAPE: Hazard to Navigation.

Middle Cape Sable in position 25-09.305N 081-09.671W. All mariners are advised to transit the area with caution. [Ref: SKW BNM 054-11] Chart 11433
