Please refer to the top of page 25 and the text about Lake Charles. The update to this paragraph was left out during the edit process. Please replace with the following:

The waterfron at Lake Charles has undergone a major makeover. The new L’Auberge du Lac Hotel, Casino and Marina is located at the southern mouth of Contraband Bayou as it empties into the Calcasieu River. A new waterfront promenade (Lake Charles Civic Center) and marina (Bord du Lac) on the SE shore of Lakes Charles has been completed. The marina is within walking distance of many restaurants and other attractions.

Please refer to page 75, mile 785.2.

In October 2011 a sailboat on a mooring was reportedly in this anchorage. Also, at low tide the depth in the anchorage was 4.5 feet.

Please refer to page 75, mile 786.2, Butler Beach.

The entrance just below green “43” has reportedly shoaled in. In October 2011 a vessel drawing 4.5 feet ran aground twice at low tide.

Please refer to page 114, mile 107.4, Washington, DC.

The last sentence states that you will be required to use 2 anchors. We have been advised that this is no longer a requirement.

Please refer to page 115, Capital Yacht Club. According to a cruiser report in October 2011 there is now a $15.00 charge per day for the dinghy dock. This includes showers and free internet, plus the use of the laundry facility and lounge.

Please refer to page 52, mile 329.5, Shallotte Inlet. This anchorage has shoaled in. The only deep water that exists is on the west bank north of red “76” and this will probably be occupied by shrimp boats. Vessels have reported they anchored just west of red “76”, not going into the creek but out of the intracoastal channel. Two anchors were used due to the strong current.

Please refer to page 62, mile 34, Watkins Glen, Village Marina.

The marina contact is Terry Stewart, 607-742-5100. In addition, they no longer sell gas.

Please refer to page 23, mile 267.0, Adam’s Bayou.

We received this email on March 3, 2012.

We anchored in Adams Bayou. As we waited to be sure anchor set, a Tug Captain came by and told us that we probably didn’t want to anchor there since the tugs come up the bayou to provision at a store at the top near the bridge. We told him that the anchorage was recommended in Waterway Guide and he replied that the provisioning there was a new thing. It was too late for us to backtrack to the Intracoastal and find another anchorage. The Captain helped us by showing us an old shrimp boat to tie up to for the night.
Thought that we should share this information so some else doesn’t have a surprise. By the way, a tug went up the Bayou at daybreak - sure glad that Captain came by!

Please refer to page 29, Mile 96.0, Morgan City. It is not necessary for pleasure craft to contact VTS.

Please see page 84, mile 1028.9, Lake Avenue Bridge.

The Lake Ave Bridge, which previously opened on demand, now opens at 15 past and 45 past the hour. This change is due to increased road traffic as a result of the Lantana Bridge (mile 1031.0) closure for construction. the schedule. The schedule may return to on demand after the Lantana Bridge is completed in 2014.

Please see page 85, mile 1031.0.

The Lantana Bridge is currently open for navigation as the spans have been removed. A new bascule bridge will have a closed clearance of 24.5’ with a wider horizontal clearance (52’) when completed in 2014.

Please refer to page 126 and the coordinates listed in the first line of text for establishing a course into Sturgeon Bay. The first coordinate is listed as “ A waypoint of N45 47.35. This is incorrect. The correct coordinates are N44 47.35.

Many thanks to Phil Johnson for catching this error. 

Refer to page 93, mile 992.2.

We anchored here today, 12-19-2012, with our two dogs because your publication states it is a dog-friendly anchorage. But when we went ashore there are two signs that say “no dogs”. This looks like a new rule for this area. We took the dogs ashore anyway and no one objected. But we do our best to be responsible dog owners and not take them where they are not allowed.

Please refer to page 55. The anchorage at mile 966.0 should no longer be used due to a temporary navigation channel being established at mile 962.6 and extending below the lock and dam.

Please see page 25. The coordinates listed for Boldt Castle are not correct. Please change to N44 20.680 W075 55.350.

Please refer to page 23, Mile 267.0, Adams Bayou. This has become a provisioning stop for towboats who stop at the store near the bridge. This should no longer be considered as a potential anchorage. Do not consider laying on the barge dock either.
