Update for cruisers forum:
“The dredging has been completed for Lockwoods Folly and is now underway for Shallotte. North Carolina ACOE is really on the ball! My thanks to Fordyce for the update!”

I think your MM is incorrect since South Harbout Village Marina is a Green 9 about 6-7+ miles to the East at MM 311. Please double check and correct. Thanks
I should have added to call ether USCG or Sea Tow, Ocean Isle for local info. Supposedly boaters need “to hug the reds”. Thanks for your services!

Editor’s note: Bill is correct, it should read Mile 321.
