RE: New FREE Atlantic ICW Problem Stretch Videos Available On-Line

Hey folks,
** Personally we prefer to traverse about 3 to 4 miles offshore. Biggest reason we like it is the solitude and no wake maker traffic. The GICWW and ICW can be a challenge (esp in FL!!!). No offence folks but sometimes the waters are very crowded and the wakes are really awful. The smaller boats dont have a chance. We are lying in Savannah now waiting out the H-season to head south then east, so I cant speak of the ICW north of here. We have no desire to do the loop or going further north ever. All that said, even without a schedule, it is not always possible to comfortably cruise off shore, so you either wait for a weather window or stay on the ICW. Other than that, off shore is for us! Our rule is 1 foot of waves prediction for each 10ft of boat len. 42 ft boat..4ft wave prediction max. And as yall know, it doesnt always work out that way! Be safe!
Respectfully,
Ken
