Heading to Beaufort, SC from Charleston shortly via the ICW. If anyone has made the trip recently, please let me know of the latest shoalings. It's been about three years since I last made the trip.

Thanks.
 
Charlie, I pulled this from BoatUS site,

Thank you Nolan and Sadler. Looks like it gets a little shallow at the Ashepoo as linked by Salder. Stono Inlet shouldn't be an issue.................unless I get lost and make a left coming out of Mike's favorite spot, Wapoo Cut.

.....and I think his contribution was rather sizable! Very generous of him! With the recent DNR budget cuts, perhaps he will feel like making a more generous, charitable contribution this year....................
 
SeaRide- When are you making the trip? A group from Lake Wylie is making the trip on Friday, June 4 and returning on Sunday, June 6. There are about 10 SeaRay's signed up. If you are not going before that weekend we will give you a report.

You all had better take bunches of pictures.
 
Ooooooo...I hope I don't get stopped again! I'm not so sure I can be so cool again. hahahha. I hope the same DNR guy doesn't see me, he'll probably just pull me over for the fun of it.
Actually I've already tempted that fate. I just went real slow!
