Cruisers & Sailing Forums - View Single Post - Best Approach to St. Augustine

SoonerSailor · 29-06-2009, 21:53

I am moving my newly acquired boat north from Canaveral, FL to Georgia next week, and would like to make a stop in St. Augustine. I don't have a cruising guide at hand, but looking at the charts it seems that carrying a 6 foot draft through the inlet even at high tide could be a challenge. Any thoughts on this?

I haven't yet investigated the possibility of approaching via ICW with a 55 foot mast, but I'm suspecting that might be a problem too.

Thanks
