I also wanted to say that 50 miles a day is good progress in the ICW.
I try not to schedule that much. When we go south, we try to stop by
2 or 3 pm because otherwise (since we are usually going south in
November) the sun is in our eyes. That's something to remember for
next fall.

On our yearly road trips to Florida, never pushing hard, I used to
stop early at motels, maybe 1-2 PM. The kids would spend hours
playing in the pool, and the wife and I would unwind with local
newspapers and TV. Our driving started at daybreak.
I never made reservations, and had my pick the rooms.
Is there a marina equivalent to that while cruising the ICW?
Or do you always have to reserve a mooring/berth?
