Are you referring to the channel east of Roanoke, north of the Pamlico
Sound? I am not aware of any bridges over the Big Foot channel.

What are your bad experiences sailing the Pamlico Sound? Weather?

With my keel swung up, i draw about 4 feet. Instead of taking the ICW down
the Alligator River, I'm thinking of motoring around Roanoke (thru the 5ft
reported channel) and sailing down the sound to Ocracoke.

What say ye?

We've always stayed away because we felt the shallower channel was too
shallow and the deeper channel had a bridge that was too low.
