What you need to know
The connector between the Cape Fear River and the ICW, and the current absolutely rips through it — 3 knots plus on a full tide. Time it with you, not against you, and watch for shoaling on the east end.
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.
