About ready to to leave for 2nd trip on ICW this yr. came up from charleton sc to ct in Aug, and now heading back down to kill devil hill nc next wknd for 1st leg of tramsport to the keys.
Labett is right on about markers you need to sight from marker to maker ahead, another thing to help stay in channel watch the crab pot bouys they are typiclly on the edges of the channel. the Maptech chartkits are a must, well worth the money. Get a ICW waterway guide that has al the milage and anchorages/marinas.
favorate places: Bluewater yatch center- hampton; Midway marina- coinjock(crabbies rest.); tuckahoe pt. anchrage(use lots of scope, Beautifull); Oreintal sc- marina and motel. those are all about a days trip apart.
sailing: not alot going S. except for Albemar sound and pemlico/nusse river, unless you have W. or NW then you can run with jib.
Enjoy your trip
