      Report and Photos of Snows Cut by Phil Kent and Karen Barbalace


       View In Chartview

      Our thanks to Phil and Karen for sharing their AGLCA Forum posting with our readers. Many of you will travel through Snows Cut at some point in your cruising lifetime. Mile long Snows Cut departs the coastal Waterway at the entrance to Carolina Beach and intersects Cape Fear River at Mile 296.

       

      Living on the ICW, it’s amazing the number of boats we see every day heading south for the winter. 20, 30 a day perhaps, and we only see some of them. Trawlers, sailboats, large yachts and other craft, a few with looper flags but mostly snowbirds. Most loopers know Snow’s Cut, a few miles south of us, as a tricky waterway that connects the Cape Fear River with the ICW at Carolina Beach.

      Though interesting, few good photos of this area exist. It’s difficult to get decent photos as you’re transiting it as you’re busy navigating a narrow, tricky channels with a 2 or 3 knot current. On a recent bike ride over the Snow’s Cut bridge, I took a few photos that might give our captains a good overview of the mile-long man-made cut.

      LNM: Hazards of North Carolina Inlets

      An important reminder for our North Carolina locals and for off-shore cruisers. Local knowledge is recommended for most for these inlets.

      NC – HAZARDS OF NORTH CAROLINA COASTAL INLETS
      Hazardous inlets. To heighten public awareness about the hazards that exist in and around the North Carolina coast, this information is provided to mariners. Shoaling conditions exist at following North Carolina coastal inlets:
      Oregon Inlet
      Hatteras Inlet
      Ocracoke Inlet
      Barden Inlet
      Beaufort Inlet
      Bogue Inlet
      New River Inlet
      Topsail Inlet
      Masonboro Inlet
      Carolina Beach Inlet
      Lockwoods Folly Inlet
      Shallotte Inlet
      Shoaling conditions increase the potential for groundings. These inlets are subject to continual and sometimes rapid environmental changes. Mariners are highly encouraged to obtain the most recent U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Wilmington, North Carolina District hydrographic survey information, centerline waypoints and controlling depth at: http://www.saw.usace.army.mil/Missions/Navigation/HydrographicSurveys.aspx
      Mariners should use caution when navigating in these areas and passage through the inlets is not recommended without local knowledge of the area. The aids to navigation in these inlets may not be charted and may not be marking best water due to continually shifting shoals. Consult Local Notice to Mariners, 5th Coast Guard District for the latest positions and status of aids to navigation:
      https://www.navcen.uscg.gov/?pageName=lnmDistrict®ion=5
      To report any aids to navigation discrepancies (missing, damaged, off station, extinguished lights), shoaling, hazards to navigation, or discrepancies on bridge lighting, please contact Sector North Carolina Command Center (910) 343-2200.

      Death of a Legend – In Memorium Robert Peek

      The stories of Robert Peek’s “customer relations” are indeed legendary throughout the cruising community. Here is a man who loved his job and did not hesitate to share that love with boaters locking through Deep Creek Lock. Our thanks to Donna Stewart of Dismal Swamp Welcome Center for this notice and to Kim Russo of AGLCA for sharing Robert’s obituary.

       

      Our hearts are heavy, as we mourn the loss of our dear friend and colleague, Deep Creek Lockmaster Robert Peek. Please keep his beloved wife Jackie and family, friends and co-workers in your thoughts in this time of loss. No one will ever fill his shoes.

      Robert of Deep Creek Lock squeezed 18 boats in the lock yesterday – we were like sardines in a can. I found the whole thing quite hilarious! Arnold Parkinson

        We first met Robert in 2013 as M/V Yinzer passed through his lock. As we departed the lock, he saw that our Homeport was Pearl Harbor, HI. He picked up one of his conchs and yelled “I bet you know what this is” as he blew it. In Hawaii, in bygone years, the blowing of a conch signaled the coming of royalty. Several years later we took two of our younger grandchildren (ages 8 & 10) on the Albemarle Sound loop and as we returned to the Chesapeake stopped for the night at the free dock located between the Great Bridge bridge and his lock. I told Robert via channel 13 that we were spending the night there and that I had two apprentice conch shell blowers onboard. He naturalling inviting us over for coffee and pastries the next morning. The children took our shells with them. He said that the “blow hole” was too big for the children lips so he picked up a couple of smaller shells and promptly made ones sized for them. We will always remember and cherish the moment.

        If you met Robert once, you were a friend. For life. We met, chatted with and were invited to breakfast several times. He was generous with his time, his knowledge and, of course, coffee and danish. Because of storms, dredging and lock repairs we were unable to take the Dismal for couple of years. We were looking forward to seeing Robert this year. Shocked and saddened by this news. It is a terrible loss for the entire boating/cruising community. Our best wishes and condolences to Jackie and his entire family.

        You all are in the boating world and know the giant shoes Robert Peek wore for our beloved Dismal Swamp Canal. He was lockmaster, host, grounds keeper, maintenance man, historian, ambassador, entertainer, and most importantly, genuinely caring of his boaters. Everyone was a friend, and he wins a trophy for Hospitality. Everyone knows Robert, and if you didn’t, you wanted to meet him.

        So you all know how devastated we are in sharing the news of his sudden death yesterday morning. I like to picture him laughing with God, having a cup of coffee and sweet breakfast treat, debating a few matters and having a good laugh while enjoying the heavenly companionship. I’m sure he has reeled in a few angels who could not stay away from the engaging conversations. Robert is just that way. He was a dear friend, and he will never be replaced.

        Please remember his beloved wife Jackie and their family in this time of shock and loss. Also his co-workers at US Facilities and the Norfolk District USACE. If you would like to send any form of condolences please send them to:

        Jackie Peek and Family

        We have been assured they will be given to Robert’s family. Jackie has given me permission to tag her on our Facebook page, although we are working out those wrinkles. So anything you share from our page she will have knowledge of. Please feel free to tag us with comments. There are already thousands of people who have seen the post late yesterday afternoon.

        Our sympathy goes out to you, as well. We know Robert had many friends in the boating community who are feeling the loss, too. Please feel free to share this message with anyone you feel would care to know. On a personal note, I took this image of Robert when he was assisting with Paddle for the Border, and my husband, daughter and grandson are on the boat with him. His genuine laughter is just contagious, and his conch is front and center. One of my favorites.

Most investors agree, the rental income generated is greater than what they are earning in their money market accounts. Furthermore, owners couldn’t be more delighted with the rental income they generate while out and about during their cruising months. And…might I mention, we do all the work for you when it comes to billing. The only thing you need to concern yourself with is watching your rental income grow.
       
      If interested, now is the time to call Thomas.
       
      Tip of the Month: A boat slip on G Dock allows for easy access in and out of your slip, plus you can enjoy the benefits of being located on the marina’s newest dock.

      Isaias Aftermath Report from Southport Marina, Southport, NC AICW Statute Mile 309.5


       View In Chartview

      This excellent facility and CRUISERS NET SPONSOR, Southport Marina, was severely damaged by Isaias. See Hurricane Damage.  Experienced cruiser and longtime Looper, Robert Creech, posted this first hand report from his Southport home on AGLCA’s Forum.  Thank you Robert!

      After a terrifying/anxious night (August 3-4, 2020) with a tornado, power outage, full moon high tide, storm surge, and Hurricane Isaias, upon being told the next morning of damage at The Southport Marina, we walked to the marina and could not find C-life and could barely see C-Breeze III! All of the boats and docks were scattered across the marshes and creeks or piled in the northwest corner of the marina. The only damage at our home was tree limbs and debris. We watched aerial video later that day and thought that we located C-Life, still in the marina. Our power was out for about 48 hours. We were able to retrieve C-Life on Friday, August 7, and C-Breeze III on Tuesday, August 11, and now have both of them back in boat slips in front of our home, with minimal damage, but fixable.

      We are very thankful to have so many family members and friends that care about our well being. This has been a very stressful time and we thank all of you for your prayers, coming by to offer help, texts, calls, and emails. Although we may not have responded to all, we greatly appreciate your concern.

      Thanks again,

      Kay & Robert Creech

        Bob your account of hurricane Isaias passage at Southport is most appreciated. While reading I could almost feel the power of such a storm. We were living in Jamaica when Gilbert ravaged the island, so we can appreciate what you and Kay as well as the wonderful town of Southport experienced. Glad all is going well with your recovery. We will keep everyone in our prayers.

Washington City Docks, A CRUISERS NET SPONSOR, has proven to be well worth the journey up the beautiful Pamlico River! Our thanks to Henry Zalegowski for these kind words.

      The docks in Washington have got to be seen to be believed, the best town docks I have ever seen anywhere. A lot to see and do in the town of Washington.
