NOt sure about Oriental though - we scraped bottom at the municipal face dock - despite them saying it ahd been...

Re: ICW with 7 1/2 Foot Keel - Piece of Cake

We can't do the NJ ICW because we ahve a 60 foot mast and there are lots of bridges that are much lower than that so it is out.

Re: ICW with 7 1/2 Foot Keel - Piece of Cake

I wrote "piece of cake" because as noted we really didn't ahve any major problems - but also because like Jim CAte - I'm tired of reading that anything deeper than 5 feet will get hopelessly stuck ,...

Re: ICW with 7 1/2 Foot Keel - Piece of Cake

So we exited at Norfolk and have had no problems.

In total 465 st. miles from Charleston SC. Some on here claim that that is only a small piece of the ICW, or the easiest part. The reaction we...

Delancy

we don't need to argue

we are now closing in on Norfolk and will then have done the northern half of the classic ICW. If, as you claim, the southern half is the truly difficult part,...

Re: ICW with 7 1/2 Foot Keel - Piece of Cake

We've reached Oriental and we did have some issues at the New River inlet, took us 5 tries to find a way through, but we did get there at dead low tide.

Re: ICW with 7 1/2 Foot Keel - Piece of Cake

Re: ICW with 7 1/2 Foot Keel - Piece of Cake

our air draft is 18 meters = 59.4 feet, but I'm chicken so I say 62 feet just to make sure. You shouldn't have any air draft problems at 63.5 the bridges are 65 feet at high tide so you can go under...

ICW with 7 1/2 Foot Keel - Piece of Cake
