I am planning to make my first ever offshore cruise in late December, going from Hilton Head to St. Augustine (got nothing but bad reviews from local boaters about the ICW through Georgia). Should I take a route where I daisy-chain the red/white safe water markers at all the inlets along the way? My thought was I could do this in case I wanted to duck back into the ICW due to weather/waves. Or should I just take the point to point straight line from the Hilton Head marker to the St. Augustine marker to make for the shortest trip? Looks like the only routes for this on Active Captain are the straight line run.
Also, what is the best way for me to get accurate sea states so that I can pick the best day for the ride? Is there a preferred app for this? Thanks.
