Advice on New Shoaling at AICW/Browns Inlet Intersection Problem Stretch, Statute Mile 237
The intersection of the Waterway and Browns Inlet, south of Swansboro, NC was last dredged in December of 2012, but, as with most SSECN designated “AICW Problem Stretches,” shoaling usually reappears sooner or later. Captain Bell reports that shallow depths are occurring as expected. Past experience dictates that the channel can shift quickly and that close attention to the relocated and temporary USCG buoys is your best bet to avoid grounding.
Do not get within 60 feet of green 61a or you will be aground as was a sailboat today.
