Does anyone have first hand knowledge of the current condition of the
intercoastal waterway from the Cheasapeake Bay to Central Florida. .I
would like to plan a late spring or early summer trip from myrtle beach
either north or south depending on conditions. Small ( 19ft. )shallow
draft centerboard sloop.


What model sailboat?

The boat is a 1932 Cheasapeake Bay modified Sharpie. It is fully
restored and this will be its first voyage. It has a 2/12 hp outboard
that will most likely be upgraded to 5 hp. A small cabin provides a
V-berth and a porta potty.


I have a modest 18.5 foot mini-cruising sailboat also.
I'd probably tow it down to Florida. (of course I live close to a thousand
miles north of you)
