OCRACOKE ISLAND, N.C.
It may be another 30 days before ferry service between Hatteras and Ocracoke is restored.
Shoaling from recent storms forced the North Carolina Ferry Division to suspend the service indefinitely last week. During an assessment this past weekend, no alternate route was located. The dredging operation reported a water depth of as little as 3 feet, a news release from the Hyde County Emergency Management office said.
Dredging will likely take another 30 days and the ferry service may not be able to resume until the work is complete, the news release said.
In the meantime, the Coast Guard has committed to assisting with patient transport via helicopter or by boat to the Hatteras ferry dock. From the dock, Dare County Emergency Medical Services would then transport the patient to a hospital.
A 16-foot great white shark is paying the Crystal Coast a visit today, and she may have briefly gone into the Pamlico Sound this morning.
A tracking device put on the 3,456-pound female shark showed her in the Pamlico Sound at 11:05 a.m. The shark, named "Mary Lee", was captured off Cape Cod September 17th by OCEARCH, a nonprofit research group that studies the ocean's giants. They fitted the mature shark with a tracking device and then released her back into the ocean.
Since then "Mary Lee" has been tracked to Jacksonville, Florida and has been making trips up the coast to Onslow County, back and forth, for the past month. The tracker says for the past couple of days the great white traveled along the Crystal Coast and this morning up to the Ocracoke Inlet.
Hatteras Yachts is laying off 105 workers at its plant in New Bern while its parent company, Brunswick Corp. of Lake Forest, Ill., has announced plans to sell it and CABO Yachts.
In emails to the Sun Journal, Dan Kubera, a spokesperson for Brunswick, said the layoffs announced Thursday were necessary to better adjust to the market conditions.
He also said the layoffs were “unrelated and separate” to the decision by Brunswick Corp.’s Board of Directors to seek a buyer for Hatteras and CABO.
In a statement about the decision to sell, Brunswick Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Dustan E. McCoy said: “This action reflects our decision to exit the sportfishing convertible category and to concentrate our resources in the yacht segment on our remaining brands, Sea Ray and Meridian Yachts. When completed, this action will also contribute to our goal of a break-even or better Boat Segment in 2013, even if the larger sterndrive/inboard fiberglass markets do not improve.
