We are now up to 5 round trip transits of the ICW in our GB49 so I can
relate to that. What you need is a dinghy which is capable of getting
up on plane and covering some ground in an hour or two. We've done a
lot of poking around in the back creeks and small towns that way and
it is a lot of fun. Riggging out the dinghy with a small depth
sounder/fish finder is also a useful addition.


The thing is we're boatless now so it's not a matter of adding a dink to
the big boat but of acquiring something. Also I"m married to someone who
gets sea sick but lived and sailed for 7 years but in a tri so she'd not
be comfortable in a mono and I am very skeptical of the multis (beam
issues). I think our big boat open ocean voyaging days are over.

We'll see how things shake out in the next few years, but as I posted,
this is likely more a musing not to be realized than a project to be done.
