That translucent brown water isn't so much polluted as gourmet dosed with tannin, a desirable element of red wine and I guess tea. Water leaches tannin from forest bark and maybe roots.

So the Gemini should not go beyond the icw?

I have come to HATE the ICW on my 41' sailboat. The boat needs 4.5' of draft, minimum. Unofrtunately, the sides of the channels are not tapered so much as vertical. Trying get enough space with tugs pushing two barges just cuts it too close and end result is is running aground way too often on the starboard side while showing ample depth on port.

At this point, whenever possible, I go offshore to avoid the peril and hazards of lousy nav markers and unreliable charts.

You mentioned in the video that the Gemini was not a Cape Hatteras Boat. Please explain briefly why this is the case. Thanks much!

Dislike because of bridges or boat traffic? I was thinking it would be fun to check out the towns on the way like RVing…but with a timeline sounds like could be annoying.

I haven't even taken my boat out of Barnegat Bay yet, and I already hate the ICW. I hear there are some nice bits- cool places to visit, the Dismal Swamp Canal, a few open stretches where you can actually sail… but my research leads me to "meh".

I also hate the ICW. Takes forever and the crab pots and shoals are everywhere.
