What's the latest on Lockwood's Folly. Heading up that way soon and
Corps of Engineers says there's only five feet there.

We went through last week at low tide, and it was about 5 1/2'

Go on a higher tide, keep to landward (as Muskrat said) and watch the
current. The tide fall is not a lot, but this lulls many people into a
false sense of security... the current is swift and it will pull you out
of the channel if you let it.


... Also would
appreciate info on New River area,apparently shopaled up there too.

Yes IMHO this is worse than Lockwood's Folly. There's a bigger area to
guess where the channel is. We bumped something (a log?) underwater
nearer the red-bouy side on the north/east side of the inlet. On the way
back we kept more toward the green and were all right.


... I
need six feet.. Are there many boats going north through Lockwood's
Folly or are most of them going outside.

There was a LOT of traffic going inside last week.
