"Forced" into the Intracoastal Waterway

As we travel northward Charleston to do our reft the wind and current all turn strongly against us making open ocean progress nearly impossible. So we resign ourselves to traveling in the "Ditch" aka the ICW aka the Intracoastal Waterway. While is not the romanticized "sailing" that we were looking forward to, it was an interesting journey with lots to see Support us on Patreon?!: http://bit.ly/jandr-patreon Free floorplan tool: http://bit.ly/floorplantool Our Instagram: @jessicaandryanadventures Arya's Instagram: @arya.samoyed Our facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/jessicaandryanadventures Feel free to send us any questions to: jessicaandryanadventures@gmail.com
WOW, Jessica is related to Ponce! So that's where her good looks came from :-) I did the ICW in the 1970s on a Gulfstar 44 powerboat (the prototype) which I had a long history with and which was also the best designed boat Gulfstar ever made. Too bad the luxury tax drove Gulfstar, Endeavor and 80% of the American boat building business out of business before they repealed that stupid tax. The boat building plants and the jobs never came back. So our government totally destroyed another great American business. Ahhh the memories we old salts have. How is it possible for our government to destroy one industry after another without it all being planned??? Total destruction of the USA "from within". Hummm, what would you call that, treason or the enemy within or just another government mess?

Nice reference to BioShock.

In theory, it's OK to do it the way they did it as long as the power at the shore is still off.
Or you never drop anything from your boat into the water.
It's a good practice to connect the boat first and disconnect it last.

It is quite beautiful in parts, and really helpful when the weather or wind is not cooperating!
Wish I had noticed you were here, I would have bought you some better water.
we’re on the road again
Looking forward to refit
Enjoy the easy going ICW!
