We haven't been down the ICW for some time, but I'd advise skipping Georgia (depending on his draft) as the ICW isn't maintained well in that area, there is a lot of shoaling and very high tides. We usually go out at Charleston SC and come back in the St. Mary's River. I'm assuming he is not doing the Dismal Swamp. Bob always wanted to go out at Oregon Inlet, but we've never done it. You can get a good idea of the current state of the waterway (like that Lockwood's Folly Inlet is shoaling) from Claibone Young's site _______________________________________________ Liveaboard mailing list [email protected] To adjust your membership settings over the web http://liveaboardonline.com/mailman/listinfo/liveaboard To subscribe send an email to [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] The archives are at http://www.liveaboardonline.com/pipermail/liveaboard/ To search the archives http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected] The Mailman Users Guide can be found here http://www.gnu.org/software/mailman/mailman-member/index.html
