Anyone else following their adventure? Two captains running a 27' skiff from Norfolk to Miami. Sounds like they go beat up pretty good yesterday in the Albermarle and Pamlico sounds w/20 - 25 knt winds. www.doingtheditch.com/They are back at this morning. Can track their progress here. If you click on the bullets and tells you their speed and bearing. share.garmin.com/JeffreyHaddock

It was adventure enough taking kids tubing in the ditch on Memorial Day!

If I can ever convince the admiral to sell the house and buy a trawler we’ll head to Florida using the ICW.

If it turns out we are already in our forever house, when I retire retire, I’d like to get something I can fish offshore as well as make the loop…. No I’ve not yet researched loop boat size limitations. Don’t ruin my dream!

Down here parts of the ICW is made up of man made canals. Ditch is a pretty accurate description of some of those canals, but other parts of ICW are beautiful. Other than having to wait for bridge openings it was fun going through the Great Bridge locks with lots of parks beside the waterway.
