The area in question is frequented by tugs and barges. They manage to
transit the ICW without serious issues.

The boaters who run into trouble typically are on large cruisers heading
for the sun.


I have some really good videos of us passing "close to" some quarter-mile
long barges in the ICW. Interesting and tense, to say the least. If I
can figure out how to post some of them on my website I will try.

On the other hand, those tugs and barges tend to dredge their own channel
while making the transit unlike a smaller boat like the Navigator. Where
they can pass, I might run aground.
