I'm considering sailing outside, around Cape Lookout, North Carolina
and offshore to Ocracoke Island, North Carolina, this summer. I am
aware that the channel at Ocracoke Inlet is subject to constant
shoaling and pretty strong tidal currents, though, and wondered if
anyone who has made this passage might have some thoughts on the
advisability of going this way rather than back up through the ICW and
across the sound into Big Slough channel. Thanks.
