Cruising the ICW is fun a few times but pretty limited. Really not too many places to drop the hook. Lake boca is nothing to write home about, nor...
Tides are mild in so fl, 2 to 2.5 on average. Non issue. I used to have a condo on biscayne bay, Miami with a slip in the building. Ideal set up....
West coast is ok but a long way from the good stuff (Bahamas). There are some nice areas around sanibel, ft Myers, etc... Personally I don't see...

Took this picture from the tender after we docked. Tide had dropped close to a foot and current was even worst...

Typically, I set the tabs full down before getting on plane and then once I reach my desired cruise speed I retract them a little watching the...
A couple of articles on this incident mention that theft of yachts is not uncommon in the med with boats ending up in North Africa or the Middle...
I didn't go either but my girlfriend spent 1 1/2 hour in one of the shuttles, stuck in traffic going back to bayside. The comments she heard...
Crazy. Guilty as charged :) But in Georgia the 6 to 7' tides give you a huge safety margin. Banks show up nicely on radar and while you don't see...
Heading north in February? Are you nuts ? :)

Great article, I guess they were going to it the v12 in that thing...
