Still lots of water. My fathers boat drew 6'4" and we did just fine.
There is a lot of commercial traffic, fishing boats and tugs that keep
the thoroughfares pretty clear. Ocracoke is a great place. Enjoy. Where
is the boat? What is it?


Same boat we had in Michigan...Kirie Elite...we slip her down in New Bern,
same place as Doug's tug...


I seem to recall that Pamlico Sound has a mean depth of around 18', and
it's
relatively consistent.

Look at a chart..there are some really shallow places...


Listen Carefully....... STAY AWAY FROM THE SHALLOW PLACES......


You don't think I know that having sailed a boat with a 6' draft all
these years? of course, taking that into consideration, the Neuse is a
potential killer of keels....we've only gone aground once there,
though...and it was a fun time had by all...
