It comes in handy when cruising the boondocks and the nearest prop shop might be 500 miles away. As one example of the issues 5' of draw raises, there are places on the ICW where the maintained channel is very, very narrow and if you wander out of it just a bit, you are going to run aground, even on a shallow draft boat. There were a few times when I was running one way on the ICW in NE Florida in an outboard boat and I encountered a pushed barge coming the other way, and in places where the maintained channel was barely wide enough for the barge and certainly not enough for two boats traveling in opposite directions meeting each other, so I would pull out of the channel and in a few cases started churning up mud. A yacht with a 5' draft would have run aground, perhaps hard aground. No thanks. |

Your little Parker and your imaginary trawler, on the other hand, should stick to the ICW. |

A yacht with a 5' draft would have run aground, perhaps hard aground. No thanks. It's part of the experience. The Navigator drew about 3 and a half to 4 feet, depending on fuel load. I went aground three times in different places on the ICW in the southern states. I had the depth finder alarm set at 6 feet and it was constantly going off. Fortunately all were "soft" groundings and I was going very slowly, watching the depth gauge, constantly looking for deeper water. I was able to back off them, although one required the assistance of the thrusters. I also learned that precisely following the channel markers was no guaranty of safe passage. There are some areas on the ICW that have short inlets from the ocean and a recent storm offshore caused sandbars to build up smack in the middle of the ICW channel. Dredging barges clear them but are of no help when you call them on the radio asking for a recommendation of what side to pass them on. They won't advise you and I later learned it's because they cannot assume any responsibility for directing your passage. I found that monitoring the radio helped a lot because those ahead of me would report shallow spots and you could anticipate them. I had a friend who was making the trip at the same time I was and at one point we were within radio range of each other. (He was ahead of me and makes the snowbird trip every year). He knew it was my first time making the voyage and he helped a lot giving me warnings of shallow water. I remember one of them was reported by several people so I slowed down to a crawl and waited until I spotted a large sailboat, figuring that with his keel, he drew more than I did and I just followed his course through the shallow area. Anyone on a larger boat who claims they never ran aground in the ICW probably has never traveled the ICW. |
