headed off. When you slow down in GA, greenhead flies swarm the boat.
These little bastards bite, and it hurts.
The ICW in GA is a maze of rivers that zig zag all over the place. We
were making good time and decided to try and hit charleston SC. What
we didn't know was that the last leg is very slow going, almost all no
wake. Instead of arriving at 7pm, it was more like 9:30. We had to
navigate in the dark, in strange waters, looking for a marina that we
only knew on a map. This was very hard, very stressful, and not safe.
Finding the ICW off of the harbor in the dark is like trying to thread
a needle with no eyes. We found in by using radar, gps. Once we got
in, I had to use the spotlight on both sides of the shore to poke my
way through. We found the marina and I almost grounded coming in. Then
we got in, and what was supposed to be "many slips" available, we
finally found one. They told the admiral to dock at the fuel dock if
we could find a slip, I think he thought we were in a 20' boat because
that's all the room there was.
I'm rambling, so I'll stop. Gotta go fuel up and head off for more
adventure.
