To quote an old salt I once knew named Peter Bowker " When the depth of your keel is greater than the depth of the water, you have probably run aground. "

He is also the one who said " Don't go where the wind ain't. "

If you want to explore half the East Coast of the USA, Norfolk to Miami, you have to be able to clear 65-foot fixed bridges and have a maximum draft of 6 feet. Anything over that and half of the East Coast is pretty much off limits.
