My
mast is 71ft so I have to
head out of the Cape Fear River, round Frying Pan Shoals and then turn North. I'll likely stop at Wrightsville beach for a while and lay up in my little honey hole I marked on ActiveCapt for others to see. It's the pond just north of Lee's cut. I'll make the jump from Wrightsville around Cape Lookout and to
Ocracoke Inlet and then duck in and stay at Silver Lake for a night or two. I then need to cross the Pamlico to Oriental and am concerned about the channels.
Please share local
advice on entering
Ocracoke Inlet and crossing the sound (9 foot shoal channel or Bigfoot slough)?
From what I've found so far the cans in the inlet DO mark the channel. Please confirm??? I'm going to visit the CoastGuard station at Wrightsville and discuss with them.
Are there any overhead
power lines??? None show on Active
Captain or other maps I've seen.
Advice on
wind and
weather also greatly appreciated.

Also, FYI: I'm most likely putting her in
charter in Oriental, NC. PM if interested.
Many, MANY thanks,
