MM 238.2: Browns Inlet continues to shoal. Do not hug G61A, it is not where the chart shows it to be (further northeast). Follow the Bob423 track for the best water. See Browns Inlet Details.
MM 240.7: The Onslow Bridge replacement continues this week with an 8:00 am to 5:00 pm closure during the week but with an opening from noon to 1:00 pm. The bridge is on a normal schedule at other times. See Onslow Bridge Details.
MM 321.5: Lockwoods Folly ATONs have been moved to mark the shore route which may not match your charts unless you have Aqua Map Coast Guard data enabled with daily updates from the light list. See Lockwoods Folly Details.
MM 460: Isle of Palms has a dredge working in the area of the shallowest water (4.5 MLLW). There are reports that dredge pipe buoys partially block the detour route (6.7 MLLW). Plan ahead for a high tide for a straight through passage over the 4.5 MLLW spot if the detour route is fully blocked. See Isle of Palms Details.
MM 729: Nassau River crossing is being dredged. There are reports that the dredge has directed some boaters into shallow water. Be sure to take the Bob423 track to avoid the shoal. See Nassau River Details.
MM 778.3: St Augustine Municipal Marina is open but suffered damage from hurricane Milton. Call ahead to check on any reservations you made.
This is the week that the Coast Guard switches over to a new source of Local Notices to Mariners (LNM) and will no longer issue LNMs. See Coast Guard Details on changeover.
