Report from Fields Cut, Problem Stretch, AICW Statute Mile 575
Fields Cut, a Cruisers Net Problem Stretch listing for years, is the southern tip of South Carolina’s Waterway and intersects the Savannah River. Mid to high tide is recommended. The range mark sited below is the northwest final light on the Long Island Crossing Range on the west side of the cut north of R50, the last ATON before entering the Savannah River. Our thanks to Carol and Frank Schubauer for this report via Hank Pomeranz of Carolina Yacht Care.
As received from SV Hakuna Matata with Carol and Frank Schubauer…draft 4.5’
“Entered Fields Cut 27 minutes before low tide. Saw 12′ at entrance lowest we saw was 7’9″ on channel. Must favor the range mark exiting the cut and not aim for red mark. We bumped and had to move over toward the range mark for 18′ of water. “
Also “R40 at Ramshorn Creek is laying in the sand”. {See Chart Link below}
