(764) Caution.-A small arms firing range is on the lakefront about 1,800 feet NE of North Point Light. Daily firing creates a caution zone extending 1,200 feet SE into Lake Michigan. The zone is 1,200 feet wide at its outer end and 500 feet wide at the shoreline. Guards are posted to signal cease firing when necessary, but mariners are advised to consult Local Notices to Mariners for schedules of firing and instructions.

(765) Chart 14904.-Whitefish Bay is a slight recession in the shoreline between North Point and Fox Point, 6.5 miles N. The shoal border around the bay is about 0.7 mile wide. Submerged net stakes extend about 0.9 mile from shore.

The outer ends of the breakwaters are marked by lights and the NE corner of the coal wharf is marked by a private light. From the W end of the outer basin, the channel leads to two inner basins. In November 1993, the controlling depths were 24 feet from deep water to the outer basin with 18 to 20 feet in the basin except for depths to 16 feet in the W 500 feet, thence 12 feet in the W inner basin except for shoaling to 10 feet inthe SW corner, thence 16 feet in the N basin except for lesser depths near the N edge.

(771) The intake channel of the Wisconsin Electric Power Co. is 1,200 feet SW of the harbor entrance. The S side of the channel is protected by a jetty, marked on the outer end by a private light. An overhead power cable with unknown clearance crosses the mouth of the channel.

(772) Caution.-Power company cooling water is discharged into the harbor in the vicinity of Sauk Creek and creates a very dangerous current across the entrance to the W inner basin. Extreme caution should be exercised when maneuvering in this vicinity. With 30 minutes advance notice of vessel arrival in the harbor, the Wisconsin Electric Power Co. will reduce cooling water discharge at the request of the vessel master and will make arrangements to handle lines when entering or leaving harbor. The power company can be contacted via the marine operator or by telephone, 414-284-5161, 24 hours a day.

(781) Caution.-A Sheboygan Police Department firing zone is about 2 miles S of the S pier at Sheboygan Harbor. The firing area is 3,500 feet wide and extends about 3 miles lakeward. Firing is conducted from 0600 to 2100 7 days a week, year round; red flags are displayed while firing is in progress. Extreme caution is advised.

(782) Channels.-A dredged entrance channel leads NW from deep water in Lake Michigan between a breakwater on the N and a

pier on the S to an outer harbor turning basin. The outer ends of the breakwater and pier are marked by lights. The channel leads across the S side of the basin to the mouth of Sheboygan River and thence upstream for about 1 mile. The N side of the river mouth is marked by a light. A radiobeacon is near the Sheboygan Coast Guard Station in 43°45.0′N., 87°42.2'W.

(783) In July 1994, the controlling depths were 17 feet in the S half and 23 in the N half of the entrance channel to the outer basin, thence 15 feet in the outer basin except for severe shoaling to 2 feet along the S edge near the mouth of the river, thence 6 feet (7 feet at midchannel) from the mouth of the river to the Eighth Street bridge, thence 4 feet, except for shoaling to 3 feet along the E edge just above the Eighth Street bridge, to the head of the project at Jefferson Street.

(784) The entrance channel is subject to shoaling caused by the drift of sand from the S.

(785) Currents in the river attain velocities up to 3 mph.

(786) The outer basin is not adapted for anchorage, but greatly reduces wave action in the lower river. Mooring to the breakwater or piers is prohibited. Mariners are cautioned against navigating outside channel limits in the the vicinity of structures protected by stone riprap.

Any master or other person having charge of any watercraft, who shall violate

any provisions in this section, shall forfeit and pay for each offense a penalty of not less than $5 nor more than $25.

(788) Time allowed for opening bridge.-Whenever any person having charge of any watercraft shall wish to move the same past any bridge, reasonable time shall be allowed for the opening of the same; and any person who shall move any watercraft against any bridge, or the center or protection pier thereof, before the same shall be opened, to the injury thereof, shall forfeit and pay for each offense a penalty of not less than $5 nor more than $50, and shall likewise be liable to the city of Sheboygan for all damages done to the bridge and center or protection piers thereof.
