gonesail,

Have you ever come out of Jeckyll Island southbound, blowing 25 knots ENE and try to find water in St. Andrew's Sound? It is not fun. The beauty of the Bahamas is that, in most cases, you can see where the water is. Also, for a prudent sailor, there are a lot more shallow spots in the ICW than in the Bahamas. In the Bahamas you can avoid most of the shallow spots, in the ICW you takes your chances. As for rocks try the "rockpile" just north of Barefoot Landing in SC on the ICW.
