Mariners should contact Coast Guard Sector Jacksonville at (904) 714-7558 for more information. Specific launch schedule information and Marine Safety Information Bulletins (MSIB) can be found at the following website https://homeport.uscg.mil/port-directory/jacksonville.

      Comments from Cruisers (1)

      1. R J Norman -  April 17, 2022 - 8:18 am

        Once you manage to penetrate the USCG Jacksonville website to the LNM page you find several notices of rocket launches but none of them has an actual date/ time associated with it. Therefore, no useful information.

      LNM: Coast Guard Urges Hilton Head and Beaufort Area Mariners: Check Your VHF Radios


       View In Chartview

      Coast Guard Sector Charleston command center watchstanders received multiple uncorrelated distress calls on the digital selective calling (DSC) system carried over a VHF marine radio in the Hilton Head and Beaufort area over the past few months.

      Coast Guard requests mariners inspect VHF marine radios

      CHARLESTON, S.C.— The Coast Guard has received multiple uncorrelated distress calls on the Digital Selective Calling (DSC) system carried over a VHF marine radio in the Hilton Head and Beaufort, South Carolina area over the past few months.

      These DSC calls are originating from an unregistered radio displaying an MMSI address of 100000001. 

      The first signal was received by the Coast Guard on April 26, 2021, ceased in July of 2021, and resumed intermittent transmissions in February 2022, causing interference with marine radio traffic in the Hilton Head and Beaufort, South Carolina area.

      False distress calls have the potential to mask genuine distress calls and overwhelm the search and rescue system’s ability to respond to emergencies. The Coast Guard urges all mariners to check their VHF radios and contact the Coast Guard if you have any information about the faulty radio at 843-740-7050.

      LNM: USCG Navigation Center – Website Update

      U.S. COAST GUARD NAVIGATION CENTER – WEBSITE UPDATE

      The U.S. Coast Guard Navigation Center is going to transition the Navigation Center website to a new, enhanced version in the first quarter of 2022. As part of this transition, URLs will be updated across the site including URLs linked to PDFs. Therefore, once the transition is complete, legacy site URLS will no longer function, including bookmarked URLs and URLs used in automatic downloading of data and/or products. Outdated URLs will automatically redirect to the home page of the site, and from there you will be able to easily navigate to your preferred page. Below are a few of the “old”/new URL pairs listed for your convenience. Please note that the new URLs will not be active until we launch the new website. Of course, once it is launched, the new URLs will be available for re-bookmarking. As a reminder, these are top level URLs that may contain additional links that you use.
      This notice will be updated when the final launch date is determined and another notice will be issued to notify you when the site goes live.

      This is good advice from one of our tall-masted and deep keeled friends. Go slow and trust the markers.  The southbound Waterway enters Dawho River at White Point and there is a shoal charted in the mouth of the river entrance.

      Entering the Dawho River from the N Edisto River, Navionics chart was erroneous. Follow the day markers to prevent grounding.
