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...

When you tire of the Neuse it will be time to bring the bot to the Ches..
Much better sailing up here..

Might be better sailing but the cost of living is prohibitive...we are
onlu in VA until Mr Sails retires...and then most probably etiring to NC...
