Cutting the Corner on the AICW Passage from Bay River to Neuse River at Maw Point Shoal (St. M. 172)
On 5/9/13, as part of a North Carolina Wish List, we posed the following question:
Statute Mile 172 ‘“ while following the path of the AICW, and leaving Neuse River, did you round marker #WR, or did you cut the corner a bit by passage northwest of marker #2, located much closer to Maw Point Shoal? If you chose this latter route, did you encounter any depth problems?
Responses follow:
No problem cutting the corner with other local knowledge cruisers and watching the `GPS’ go around

I always cut the corner – the depths are correctly shown on chart.

No depth problems but one can find crab floats in this area in season.
