as is Ft Myers Beach or Marco Island.

Heh. Unless Venice has dredged, their ICW channel is from hunger - or,
more
likely, starvation!, putting it charitably. We went aground a half dozen
times trying to follow directions (in the ICW!) to get to the yacht club.

You don't need to go on the ICW if you are just pulling in off the
Gulf of Mexico for the night. There is a large marina on the right as
you go in (Crow's Nest Marina).


That's the one where we eventually wound up tying up, and eating dinner,
too. And, for that matter, out in front of which we became hard aground IN
THE CHANNEL :{/)

NTL, if we had to, we'd go in, there.
