A long walk for Hoolie relief! |
It seems there's always a battle between the forces that shoal the ICW and the Corps of Engineers that try to keep it free of shallows. One of the current battlegrounds is the entrance to St Lucie River, where our marina is located (Loggerhead Marina). There was a report of a boat with a 5ft draft hitting bottom at low tide in late December. So for us when we plan on moving on Friday, we'll go through the entrance at high tide but that only gives us another 1.2 ft! But since we only draw 4' 9", that should be enough. The shallow waters of the ICW always keeps you on your toes!
The roadway seems to "float" between these graceful pillars |
We'll do some more boat prep Thursday and finally head out on Friday morning to catch the high tide at the Crossroads (entrance to St Lucie) and drop anchor at Hobe Sound, a short day.
