"JimH" wrote in message ... You may want to read this prior to your departure. It may already be something you are aware of, but I am posting it just in case you have not read about the shoaling and low water situation: ========================================= http://www.theboatingnews.com/0404ICW.html Over the past six months or so, the Waterway has been shoaling, as it often does, along its passage behind Lockwood's Folly Inlet, and across the mouth of Lockwood's Folly River in southeastern North Carolina. Depths in the Waterway channel at MLW have dropped to a mere 3 feet. This portion of the ICW has now been CLOSED to commercial Waterway traffic except at high water, and, even then, apparently the tow captains have to get special permission to proceed. With the new and seemingly total lack of funding for dredging the Atlantic ICW, the Army Corps of Engineers is scrambling to try and find the necessary moneys in some other part of their budget to dredge this channel. There is NO guarantee that they will succeed. Can you imagine the chaos this situation will cause this spring, if not remedied by dredging, as the annual snowbird migration begins moving north???!!!! ================================================== ====== |
