Words of Wisdom on the Waterway
These words of caution and advice come to us from Mike and Mary Dickens on the AGLCA Forum. First time Waterway cruisers should take heed!
If you operate a cruising boat, running aground will occur sooner or later; you either have or will. In most cases it’s just an nuisance, but at times help is required. Our cruising boat has a protected keel and rudders; there should be little to no harm to the boat if we do bump. Most of the bottom along the ICW is soft mud and sand. Sometimes the Captain can maneuver back into deeper water and sometimes it means waiting for the tide to come in
and float the cruising boat off. Other times, running in low water might mean a tow to get moving again.
