Sherer Report: Two NC Problem Stretches, Lockwoods Folly/AICW and Shallotte Inlet/AICW
Our thanks to authors/cruisers Robert and Ann Sherer for sharing observations and photos of their voyage south this Fall via his Bob423 Facebook page.
Went through Lockwoods Folly today and found 4.6 MLW as a minimum. I would strongly recommend a half or full tide for the passage. A new GPX track from Hank Pomeranz through there is available in the link (since you can easily find a lot less water). It is also available off the Waterway Guide Alert and my blog site. Or, you can download my track of 10/18/2018, and follow that which avoids a few other shallow spots too.
The GPX route can be downloaded at

By the way, R46B was off station, it was up on land.
Shallotte was no problem. Just follow the buoys for 9.7 MLW.
