Advice on Navigating Bakers Haulover Inlet/ AICW Intersection Problem Stretch, near AICW Statute Mile 1080
Recent dredging in this AICW Problem Stretch seems to not be holding, and the USCG has reset the buoys to mark the shoaling. Captain John offers advice on proceeding through this Problem Stretch.
The ICW channel thru there is good but narrow. Stay as close to the east side green buoys as possible because the strong current (and wind) coming in from the inlet often pushes hard east to west, and it is easy to wander into shallow water on the west side of the ICW. Also the sand bar and channel is very crowded on weekends. Be careful.
