That won't be sufficient. You need to know where the shoaling is and
that's why I suggested getting an ICW cruising guide that lists problem
areas. I've run aground in the channel when I didn't head the guides.
You're in a non-tidal area now, so I think that you're pretty much OK, but
you'll want this on your return trip.


I think I may have mentioned this before but one of the well know
problem spots in your neck of the woods is just a mile or two north of
the Alligator River bridge. Just about everyone's charts are wrong
for that area but the buoys/markers are more or less correct.
