[Rhodes22-list] Homeward bound

[Wally Buck]

Frone,

A few years back I cruised NC VA part of the ICW you mention. I saw your 
previous post regarding your boat and recents upgrades. If everything is 
ship shape the leg through NC and VA will not be a problem. The Dismal Swamp 
is very narrow. When sailing outside pay close attention to the weather.

If you ask me the same question in a month I hopefully will have a better 
answer and pics to post. June 16 my wife and I are heading to Cocoa FL to 
meet up with my Uncle. He wants to move his Pearson 35 from Cocoa FL to 
Delware Bay. In the weather alkows we will sail outside the ICW up to 
Beaufort NC then head up inside the ICW. The weather will decide if he will 
head up ICW through Dismal Swamp or head back outside the ICW at Oregon 
Inlet just Nort of Cape Hatteras.

Good luck and have a safe voyage.
