T&T: Atlantic ICW

[Georgs Kolesnikovs]

Greetings in the New Year!

I'm looking for input from Listees who have cruised the Atlantic 
Intracoastal Waterway.

I'm thinking of running my TomCat to the Florida Keys from Lake 
Ontario in the fall. I've never cruised the ICW and I don't own a 
truck; thus, the idea of running the 1,800 miles on its own bottom.

(The TomCat is a 24-foot trailerable powercat with a pilothouse and 
cruising accommodations. It's powered by twin Yamaha 100 outboards 
and can easily run at 20 knots all day, if conditions permit.)

The idea is a cruise, not a delivery south. I'm thinking of being 
under way three to fours per day about five days a week. That might 
make 300 miles per week or six weeks for the distance. I'd leave Lake 
Ontario in early October.

Am I being too ambitious or too timid about the rate of progress?
