Hey guys, my name is Brendan i am a young aspiring
captain. I have had my 100 ton master for 3 years now. I grew up in South
Florida and know the waterways like the back of my hand, I have made many trips to
key west using Hawks channel and all around the
Bahamas. I am making my first trip to
fort Myers here in the next few days. I am going to take Hawks channel to marathon to re-fuel and then
head up the west cost from the 7 mile bridge.. I chose to take this
route instead of the yacht channel to have some deeper
water and also be able to refuel. My
draft is 5ft and I was hoping anyone may have some
advice on going this
route and any tips going into
fort Myers would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking forward to talk with you all and can't wait to return the favor if anyone needs some help along the southeast coast, thank you!
