Another Report of Shoaling at the N. Edisto and Dawho Rivers Intersection (Statute Mile 497)
We’ve received a number of reliable reports of shoaling in the N. Edisto/Dawho Rivers intersection and now Larry Shick provides us with a specific location of his grounding near White Point (See Chart View link below). Slow and easy is the caution for this section.
The intersection of N Edisto River and the Dawho River (SM 497) in SC has been a problem in the past. E.g. there is a note in my copy of Skipper Bob (10th edition) about shoaling to the effect that “the bottom no longer resembles the chart!” I can vouch for that. We’re aground at 32-37.556N 080-16.750W (32°37.5560N / 080°16.7500W, 32.625933 / -80.279167) where my chart shows we should have had over 12′ at the time we ran aground at about +1′ tide.Captain Larry Shick aboard Moira, a Valiant 42Click Here To View An Earlier Post on N Edisto/ Dawho River IntersectionClick Here To Open A Chart View Window, Zoomed To the Location of the Intersection of N Edisto and Dawho Rivers
