[EXPIRED] LNM: Midge Barge, Lake Monroe, St Johns River, upstream of Jacksonville, FL
A Midge Barge! Well, this is a new one to me, however, if you find yourself cruising the St Johns after dark, this would be startling to encounter.
FLORIDA – ST. JOHNS RIVER – LAKE MONROE – STONE ISLAND: Indefinite Midge Barge
Until further notice there is a barge located approximately 300ft off Stone Island in Lake Monroe Florida, in approximate position 28-50.59N, 81-14.51W (28°50.5900N / 081°14.5100W, 28.843167 / -81.241833) . The barge lies in about two feet of water and is in an idle zone. The barge lighting is a center mast mooring light with two-barricade style flashing lights at the front and back of the center mast. The barge is a decoy lighting source to keep midges (blind mosquitoes) away from residences on the shoreline, in addition from 7:00pm to 3:00am there are also four solar powered LED lights shining on 4×8 panels. For further information, contact William Greening at (386) 663-5466. Chart 11495 LNM 43/18
