T&T: Atlantic ICW

[Chuck and Susan]

Mark, Using 10 hours of daylight, you really can't and should not travel the ICW at night, for you to cover 250 to 300 miles per day obviously means traveling 25 to 30 MPH, not 8 MPH. We generally cover 50 to 75 miles per day on a leisurely pace and that places us at good anchorages along the entire route. Chuck
