	Cape Fear River, North Carolina Oceanside… Starting at the RW "CF" MO ("A") bouy from Offshore, head NE (approx) to buoys R "2" and stay in the channel to G "3". The buoys are staggered. Keeping in the channel between the buoys, taking advantage of the Ranges, run straight down to the G "9" and R "10" where the channel widens and turns slightly to starboard. At G "13" the channel takes a slight turn to port…Watch your buoys and Ranges! There is a turn more to port at G "15". Tide and current play a Big part coming into this Inlet, and should be taken at slack tide. As you get behind Oak Island things will simmer down, but watch the current. You can head into Southport, a popular town, busy with everything from History, Museums, and the too many to count Golf Courses! I came thru the Inlet after a run from Virginia, and stopped in Bald Head Island. They have only Electric Vehicles there (something we can learn from), and you can only get there by Boat or a Ferry out of Southport. The Island is just wonderful and the beaches are pristine! At Cape Fear point, the beach is a triangle, with the waves at a triangle to each other. The Wave action was definitely different.   Cape Fear Station by the point at Cape Fear Bald Head Island   **This is only to be used as a guide and prudent Captains will always refer to proper sources for Navigation, such as US Government Charts & Books Name: Email: Inlet: Please note: Only your name will be displayed to other users.
