Intersection of AICW and Browns Inlet

Posted by admin | Posted on 05-29-2009

Intersection of AICW and Browns Inlet
Statute Mile 237, North Carolina AICW

The Problem: The AICW waters from the Waterway’s intersection with shallow Browns Inlet to a point just north of the Onslow Bridge, have been shoaling badly for only the last several years. During the fall of 2011, this problem stretch was shaping up as the worst section of the Waterway between Norfolk and Miami. Then, confirmed word was received of “spot dredging” undertaken by the US Army Corps of Engineers between the AICW/New River juncture, and Browns Inlet. With the completion of this project, it was hoped cruisers could enjoy a few months respite. HOWEVER, during later 2011 and the early months of 2012, numerous reports on the Cruisers’ Net confirm that these waters are shoaling once again.

The Solution: Be SURE to traverse this problem stretch at mid to high tide, and keep a sharp watch for any new or temporary aids to navigation set to warn mariners away from newly encroaching shallows
