Sailing vs Motoring on ICW. Get used to motoring, restricted waters and depths, complicated ranges and congested traffic all favor motoring. At times you will be able to unfurl the headsail and get some extra speed and feel like a sailboat again. Some of the larger sounds and the Nuese River you can get all the sails up. The saying goes “I’ve got a motorboat with a 50 foot antenna.

There are several options of good inlets to depart and arrive back on the ICW. This will give you the chance to sail and put in longer days/overnight passages. The Waterway Guides discuss these options as well. Best of Luck. Sea Ya.
