There's nothing "resembling" about it. The ICW goes from Appalachicola to
Pensacola in Florida; I've run all of it.
Beware blowboaters though - there are FIXED bridges on this part of the ICW,
and if you've got a stick over 45' or so you have to be very careful - and
may find that some parts require running outside.
I'm a powerboater so if I can clear my outriggers and antennas I'm more or
less ok..... draft is usually not all that big of a deal around here either;
9' or more is typical (project depth), with some places having 30' or more
of water.
There is also significant barge traffic on this part of the ICW, and some of
it is TRULY a "ditch", so you do have to pay attention!
