    • Grounding and Possible Shoaling at AICW Statute Mile 210, Bogue Sound


      Skipper Crenshaw’s grounding occurred in a long narrow channel through the wide waters of Bogue Sound, south of Morehead City. There are charted shoals showing outside the channel to the south opposite Marker #8 and these may have begun to encroach on the channel. If so, Skipper Crenshaw’s advice to favor the red side is certainly a good one. Thank you Bob for sharing your experience.

      I was on ICW headed south in Morehead city toward Wrightsville Beach Sunday September 20 about 10:45 am on rising tide. We have 42 foot trawler with 4 foot draft.
      We were at MM 210 running about 10 to 12 Knots and were at least 5+ feet inside markers between green marker 7 and marker 9 and went hard aground and boat stopped immediately , my depth indicator was showing2-3 feet. We were able to get off after about 15 minutes .
      Would recommend any boat favor the red side markers, where there appears to be plenty of water around this MM.

        Just to clarify the post, the ICW runs east/west through Bogue Sound, and the shoaling is on the south side of the channel opposite Red #8, not east as in the description of the post. [Posting corrected.]
