SC: Fields Cut, shoaling at Atlantic Intracoastal MM 575
- Date Reported: Apr 15, 2020

- Description:
Fields Cut has been dredged at the northern end. The guidance is still good but you should now be able to just honor the ATONs at the northern end.
Going south,
- Pass G47 by 20 ft and aim to split the shore and R48A (not on most charts, it's at the extreme southeast corner of entrance) for 9.4 MLLW minimum
- Continue beyond R48A on the same line for 200 ft, then move over to center of channel
- Favor the outside of all turns
- At the southern exit, stay 200 ft off red side shore, the range tower and R50 for 15 to 32 MLW.Going north:
- Pass 200 ft off R50, the range tower and the shore on the red side. It's shoal on the green side
- Favor the outside of all turns, especially before starting the turn to R48A (see dotted line swing wide)
- Starting 200 ft before R48A, move over to the green side and split R48A and the green side shore, for 20 MLW
- After passing R48A, aim to pass G47 by 10 ft, 9.4 MLW along the way.The chart below is from Aqua Map and shows my track of 10/25/2019 as a blue, dotted line.
A GPX route is available at BFieldsCutThere has been no change in the last five years except at the northern end of the cut which was just dredged.
