Posted by Larry | Posted on 05-22-2013	Wiggins Pass - Click for Chartview
Even with the dredging done in March of this year, we have a Navigation Alert (http://cruisersnet.net/?p=92652) posted for Wiggins Pass, one of the most shoal prone inlets on the Western Florida coastline which cuts the coast between Gordon Pass and Fort Myers Beach. This channel is often dredged, but by the time the dredge disappears over the horizon, the sand is silting back in once again. However, dredging is always welcomed in this busy pass. And to be safe, we strongly recommend calling Pelican Isle Yacht Club at 239-566-1606 for up-to-date depth information BEFORE attempting entry.
FLORIDA-FORT MYERS TO CHARLOTTE HARBOR AND WIGGINS PASS: Hydraulic Dredging.
Orion Marine Construction Inc. will commence hydraulic dredging operations on or about May 24 2013. Operations will occur in Wiggins Pass, Naples. Orion Marine Construction will be performing preliminary construction in Wiggins Pass using a barge for equipment and other vessels. All Barges/Dredges/Tugs/Crew Boats will operate and monitor on working Channel 78 and VHF Channel 16. Hydraulic operations areas and explanations are listed below;
Dredge JERI–B will be dredging in New Pass, Beach operations on Big Hickory Island and Orion Marine Group personnel will be performing crew transfers at Weeks fish Camping in Estero Bay. While dredging, the vessels will be displaying lights and dayboards as required, and may temporally impede the flow of traffic through the channel.
The dredge “JERI-B” will work on Channel 78 and monitor VHF Channel 16. The “JERI-B” will operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A submerged pipeline will be utilized from the dredge to the overboard dredge material discharge area. The path of the pipeline will be properly marked IAW USCG 33 CFR 88.15. Buoys with “Caution Submerged Pipeline” will mark the submerged line. For further information contact the Project Manager Mr. Jared Rackley 904-868-9498, Mr. David Folsom Safety Officer (904) 210-2175 and/or the Project Engineer Mr. Patrick Link 813-508-1631.
Mariners are urged to use extreme caution in the area, transit at their slowest speed to minimize wake, and proceed with caution after passing arrangements have been made. Chart 11427

Posted by Larry | Posted on 05-22-2013	Very few cruisers travel the Waterway after dark, but just in case, please note the restrictions given in this Local Notice to Mariners. Figure Eight Island bridge crosses a long, narrow portion of the Waterway north of Wrightsville Beach.
Of course, you may be able to get a good view of the fireworks from the AICW, by loitering just south or north of the restricted zone!
NC– FIGURE EIGHT ISLAND – ATLANTIC INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY – FIREWORKS DISPLAY – SAFETY ZONE
Mariners are advised that a fireworks display will be held on May 31st at 9:30 pm. A safety zone will be established on all waters of the un-named channel north of the Figure Eight Island within a 300 yard radius of the fireworks site in approximate position 34-16-21”N 077-45-15”W., approximately 600 yards southeast of the Figure Eight Island Swing Bridge. This safety zone will be enforced from 08:30 PM to ½ hour past the conclusion of the event. This is necessary to control vessel traffic for safety of life and property on navigable waters during the event. Vessel traffic will be restricted on the entire un-named channel north of the Figure Eight Island Causeway. The fireworks will be launched from shore, which will be marked by a sign labeled “DANGER FIREWORKS STAY AWAY”, to provide on scene notice that the safety zone will be enforced. Vessels may not enter, remain in or transit through the safety zone during the enforcement period unless authorized by the Coast Guard Captain of the Port, or his or her designated representative on scene. All persons and vessels shall comply with the instructions of the Captain of the Port or the designated on-scene-patrol personnel, and upon being hailed by siren, radio, flashing light or other means, the operator of a vessel shall proceed as directed. For any comments or questions, contact the Marine Event Coordinator at Coast Guard Sector North Carolina, (252) 247-4525, or at NCMarineEvent@uscg.mil CHART: 11541

This equipment staging area is in a narrow portion of the North Carolina AICW, immediately south of Carolina Beach Inlet.

The Space Center Causeway Bridge crosses the AICW at Statute Mile 885, south of marker #43. The change in this span’s opening schedule, detailed below, extends the restricted opening hours by 30 minutes both AM and PM.
FLORIDA – ATLANTIC INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY – PALM SHORES TO WEST PALM BEACH – INDIAN RIVER – NASA PARKWAY/SR 405 BRIDGE: Bridge Repairs.
Royal Bridge Incorporated has advised the Coast Guard that they will be painting the NASA Parkway/Addison Point/SR 405 Bridge across the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway mile 885, Canaveral, Florida from April 1 to May 29, 2013. This office has been advised that only one of the four spans is open; therefore, the mariner will need to request a normal bridge opening at this location.
Starting May 9, 2013, the curfew period for the John F. Kennedy Space Center bridge, mile 885 at Addison Point will be extended to read:. The draw shall open on signal; except that, from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, except Federal holidays, the draw need not open. This portion of the work will be completed on June 21, 2013.
NASA, the bridge owner, has advised that they will be scheduling work on this bridge that may require single-leaf operations from Monday 13 May through Tuesday 2 July 2013. The details for double-leaf openings will be published in a future Local Notice to Mariners. Ref: LNM 08 through 19-13 Chart: 11485
We anchored south of the bridge last night (May 13). We were aware of the normal restricted opening schedule (closed 6:30 am to 8:00 am and 3:30 to 5:00 pm). We called the bridge tender to verify this schedule and were assured that we could get through before 6:30 am. When we called the bridge this morning to request an opening, we were informed that they are on a new schedule (since May 9) due to construction: closed 6:00 am-8:00 am. We did not ask about the afternoon schedule.

Click Here to Comment on This Posting/Marina/Anchorage/Bridge Good News: Nighttime Restrictions on Gilmerton Bridge ENDED, AICW Statute Mile 5.8, May 9, 2013
Posted by Larry | Posted on 05-09-2013	Gilmerton Bridge - Click for Chartview
Gilmerton Highway Bridge crosses the Waterway just south of Norfolk and has been the subject of much attention since the construction and resulting number of closures began last fall. The nighttime closures in effect since February are now ended. However, due to the ongoing construction, Cruisers’ Net will continue the Navigation Alert posted for this area until the work is completed.
Subject: Gilmerton Bridge Partial Channel Closures
We were able to work with the Department to come up with a plan to effectively align the machinery with the bridge in the fully raised position, rather than fully seated. We did not think this was a viable option, but have tested the process the last two nights, and it works quite well. We plan to continue to perform this work with the bridge in the raised position until the work is complete. You can revoke the notice to mariners immediately, as we will not be affecting marine traffic for the remainder of the alignment work. Thank you again for working with us to allow this work to happen this week, and we are glad we could limit the impacts on marine traffic to such a short duration.
Feel free to call and discuss if you have any further questions.
