The hurricanes to hit both Florida coasts and the eastern Gulf Coast
have left undetermined damage to channel markers and unknown areas of
shoaling in the ICW (and some areas offshore), along with severe and
widespread damage to shoreside facilities.

Any cruising plans for the Florida ICW and eastern Gulf Coast ought
now to be reconsidered and postponed for at least several years.

The only area still good for cruising in Florida is the Keys, at least
for the timebeing.

The ICW between Panama City and Destin is clear and is fine; I was in
it running home at 19kts yesterday.

No problems.

I suspect that east from there to Appalachicola is likewise ok. West may be
a bit dicier.

BTW, to add a bit to this, the marinas over here ARE trashed. My home port
suffered major damage and I doubt any transient dockage is available there,
although I've not been told this.

They do have fuel and are open, however.
