Folks,
I'm looking for some advice here.
We do an annual guy's trip and this year the group has settled on Key West as our destination, and we're arriving via my boat.
FYI, if anybody from the forum would like to tag along, the more the merrier - March 4th-9th.
Anyway, we are going to leave early morning from the Ft Lauderdale area and are hoping to make it into port in Key West the same day. We'll have to plan on a fuel stop somewhere along the way.
I'm wondering if anybody has any suggestions on the best route to take, i.e. ICW or Hawks Channel being two of the most popular that I've seen.
I don't want to get stuck in a series of no wake zones (not sure if there are any in that section of the ICW) but I also understand that the ICW is the best option depending on weather.
Just looking for advice here from the folks that have made this run before and what their thoughts were.
Thanks,
Tim
