I guess I have never before heard the Sand Hole referred to as part of the ICW.
Do the barges stop there to load up on fuel and DVD movies?

We left the next morning at dead low tide. We never had a problem before.
But this time we were stuck, first on the inner bar then the outer one.
We spent three hours trying to get out, which had never happened before.

So, if you are going there, beware. And don't even try to enter on an
ebbing tide. You could end up with an excellent opportunity to clear the
barnacles off your prop and shaft. Been there, done that.

Don't feel bad.... the ICW is just as dangerous and problematic.
Locally, the ICW is down to three feet depth in some places (Lockwood
Folly Inlet).
