Hi:
Looks like I will be able to break away and do my first ICW trip June 6th 2009. Me and a buddy will I assume put the 260 DA in the water near the Hwy 9 bridge early that Saturday morning. Our very tentitive plan is to head out to Bird Island for the day then back to Barefoot for dinner and maybe stay in a slip at the Grande Dunes Marina.
For those that know this area what is your advice for Marina's to stay, places to see etc. We would like to head down towards Charleston but I'm not sure how long this takes using the ICW or if the ocean would be nice enough to let us cruise down there. We have to be heading back to Charlotte sometime Tuesday afternoon....is this enough time to go very far south?
What gear should I have on the 260 if we go out in the Ocean just off the coast? EPIRB, coastal life jackets, flare kit, GPS etc.
Thanks for any help.
