Report on Shoaling in Snows Cut, Carolina Beach, NC, AICW Statute Mile 296
Our thanks to Hank Pomeranz of Carolina Yacht Care for this report of shoaling at Marker #162A in Snow’s Cut. See Shoaling Surveyed from March 2017. Snows Cut is a 1.5 mile cut connecting Cape Fear River with the east coast Waterway at Carolina Beach.
The second image shows the south side of the cut. Note that waypoints 3 and 4 take you a bit south around some 6′ humps between R162 and G161A. I can personally attest to their existence. Those waypoints are not meant to take you outside the channel between the 2 marks but rather to keep you a bit to port [southbound]. Finally, it is definitely shoal at 162A. No reason to take this one close aboard.
