Report from Masonboro Inlet, Statute Mile 285.5
Carrying 7.5 ft of draft, Captain Hipple not only came through the Masonboro Inlet cleanly, but also managed to avoid the recent shoaling that has plagued the Inlet’s intersection with the AICW. See Link below.
We are 130 ft drawing 7.5 feet and came in Masonboro inlet on 9/20/12 at mid tide. The inlet is deep and well marked as usual. We rounded G-129 leaving it to port and turned south in the ICW. I never saw less than 10 feet of water. We headed down through Snows Cut out to the Cape Fear and had no problems.
