The crew of *Nervous- Starting Over!* encountered shoaling and strong tidal currents while transiting the Intracoastal Waterway near the Onslow swing bridge in North Carolina.6:40 Temporary buoys marking the channel proved inaccurate, leading to a grounding at low tide.7:17 After failing to clear the area, the crew diverted to the town dock in Swansboro.9:18 Docking the boat solo proved difficult due to a multi-knot current, requiring assistance from a bystander to secure the bow line.11:10 The following morning, the crew struggled to back the vessel out of the slip as the current pushed the boat against the pilings.12:22 The experience highlighted the unreliability of aids to navigation in shifting shoals and the significant impact of tidal currents on boat handling in the Carolinas compared to the Chesapeake. The crew planned to continue south to a marina for a haul-out and application of Pettit Ultra SR40 bottom paint.3:54
