For the few boats that don't monitor their radios on the ICW a gentle sound signal always works. The killer sections of the ICW for anything more than an express are around Carolina Beach (There's also some bad shoals in that area) and from Southport through the pontoon bridge. Too many docks to damage forcing you to run at about 4 kts. Unless it's a pleasure cruise outside from Beaufort to Charleston is the way to go (weather permitting) as it saves a day. Same for the shot from Charleston to St. Augustine or Mayport. This year's been blowing up though.
