What you need to know
Private 90 ft floating dock on the Cape Fear, so you are tying to the restaurant and not to a neighbour. The river current is the whole approach — land into it with lines ready.
Forecast, observations and tides are live from NOAA, the National Weather Service and NDBC. Run time, fuel, depth and daylight are calculated from your boat profile. Planning aid only — not for navigation. Carry current charts.
