After my earlier warning, now Boat US has a brief article in its
November 2004 issue of Boat U.S. magazine about the risks and dangers
of travelling the ICW after the recent hurricanes -- some inlets and
channels silted (to less than three feet), channel markers disappeared
or moved, sunken boats and trees. Beware.

Following is the text of the BoatUS warning
"Warning to Snowbirds
Thousands of cruising “snowbirds” are being warned by Florida
officials to expect inlets silted in, shoals shifted and navigational
markers blown away by the two hurricanes. There is a high likelihood
that debris is still hidden underwater along both coasts, including
submerged trees, docks and boats. Florida marine police urge skippers
to slow down, keep a sharp lookout, adhere to many new no-wake zones
and don’t rely only on channel markers which may be “gone with the
wind.”"
Florida officials are encouraging all to "come on down". No reason
not to go. Just take care as you should be doing anyway.

Hope they all run aground trying to get here. Snowbirds stay home!!

Ignore this guy, he fell off his trailer-house porch and landed on his head.
