AVIS IMPORTANT AUX NAVIGATEURS via l'Intracoastal

MERCI À Daniel du voilier MAGIE qui nous a fait parvenir ce message à l'intention des navigateurs se dirigeant vers l'Intracoastal :

J'ai entendu dire que le pont Ben Sawyer sera fermé du 13 au 23 novembre. Le pont se trouve au mile 462 de l'ICW.

Voici le lien qui donne l'information: http://cruisersnet.net/category/sc-belle-isle-sullivans-ilsand/

Due to the scheduled replacement of the swing span of the Ben Sawyer Bridge, the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AICW) will be closed to marine traffic from Friday, November 13, 2009 at 12:00 A.M. to Monday, November 23, 2009 at 11:59 P.M.
A safety zone will be enforced around the Ben Sawyer Bridge during the entire 10 day closure. The safety zone will encompass the entire waterway from 180 yards northwest of the bridge, and 220 yards southwest of the bridge. No one may enter the safety zone without prior authorization from the Captain of the Port Charleston or his designated representative.
Mariners are encouraged to listen to the broadcast notice to mariners for updates on VHF Ch 16. CG Sector Charleston will broadcast the closure, as well as the implementation and rescission of the corresponding safety zone for the bridge. Updates to the schedule are dependent on weather and will be made to this MSIB, as necessary. For questions regarding the bridge construction call Julie Hussey with PCL at (843) 224-1096 or Kim Partenheimer with PB Americas at (843) 972-1775. For Coast Guard issues, please contact the Coast Guard's 24 hour Command Center Line at (843) 740-7050.

J'espère que tous les voiliers québécois pourront passer avant la fermeture.
Pourrais-tu en informer les gens sur le Réseau?

Merci pour ta précieuse et chaleureuse collaboration.
