Depth Survey of Northern Fields Cut, AICW Problem, Statute Mile 574
Many thanks to our good friends, Mark and Diana Doyle, for sharing this depth survey of northern Fields Cut, which was listed as a hazard to navigation (see /?p=143997) in this week’s Local Notices. Please let this survey and our Nav Alert serve to guide you through this major Problem Stretch.
Hi Larry,
Just saw your recent SSECN report on Fields Cut. You’re right, it’s getting uglier and uglier there.
Diana and I went through yesterday so I thought I’d send you a depth-annotated track and survey report for your readers.
That end of the cut was always interesting but now it’s got a three-foot MLLW speed bump right in the middle of the ICW channel!
Best,
Captains Mark & Diana Doyle

My wife Pat and I traveled through Fields Cut on 10/26/16 one hour after low water favoring the outside of each curve and found no less than 12 feet of water from the Wright River to the Savannah River.
