Planning to take our new boat down the ICW to Marco Island,Fl., in September.

Read, study and get our GPS charts updated. That's what we're going to do!

Regards,
Richard

Welcome to TF, Richard. If you are comfortable cruising the Chesapeake, the ICW will pose no problem you can't deal with. My tip is that it is always a good idea to go over the next days cruise to familiarize yourself with what you will be dealing with. You will be meeting and talking with other cruisers who will be a source of info. Enjoy the trip.
