Have fun running your barge downhill to Florida. Try not to run
aground too many times between the St. Mary's River and Daytona.

Real men and real boats run outside south of Beaufort, NC.
LTs should not try this at home.

When I lived along the ICW in Florida, I'd often see boats like yours
wallowing down the ditch, and a couple of miles south of us, about every
two weeks, grounding on what was then an unmarked sandbar.

On good weather days, we'd go out into the Atlantic 20 miles to fish off
some of the manmade reefs. Never saw any trawlerbarges like yours out
there. Sometimes we'd see a trawlerbarge or sailboat just outside the
St. Johns River, waiting for the outgoing tide and current to change so
they could head in to the intersection of the river and the ICW.

I doubt you run outside the ditch heading south in Florida. Why would you?


It is simple, because he wanted to, and because he can.

Since Wayne really doesn't live a make believe world in rec.boats, why
do you doubt him?

Hey, want to take me up on my bet to make some easy money?
