This is also true along the ICW. Because the waterway is in a constant state
of silting up and dredging, any year's charts are as innacurate as any other.
A good Atlantic storm can dramatically alter depths, and the contours of
barrier islands. The drill is to keep one eye on the bouyage and the other on
the depthfinder. Let your guests look at the scenery and describe it to you
over cocktails.
