Another Alternate Route for St. Andrew Sound, GA AICW Statute Miles 685-690
St Andrew Sound can kick up nasty conditions in the shallows of the Waterway’s magenta line east around infamous Marker 32. Alternative routes have been explored and suggested as long as I can remember. Robert Sherer’s alternate route below does avoid Marker 32 but is a bit longer. However, Robert’s southbound alternate route, which parallels the north shore of the sound, if continued parallel on a southwest course, would connect nicely to the Satilla River, then into Floyd’s Creek, rejoining the Waterway in the Cumberland River near Mile 690. See Jim Healy’s report on St. Andrew Sound and Avoiding Marker 32. Our thanks to Robert Sherer for this discussion via Bob423.

Will Cruising Powerboats Ever Catch Up With the Rest of the World?
It’s been a long time coming but we now see tangible progress emerging to reduce our dependence on fossil fuel. If the U.S. Navy can prove that it works, isn’t it about time the concept of the modern cruising boat includes hybrid forms of propulsion?Comments from Cruisers (2)

Perhaps you missed the part about the six diesel generators that power the electric motors?

That doesn’t seem right.
Tybee Island is not in South Carolina…. Tybee Island is in Georgia… It is usually called "Savannah Beach"…Please get your "facts" right before you post them to the "WWW". It just makes you look stupid when people see it. Take care.
Pretty cool!
Had one come up along side and blew a spout. Scared the hell out of me. Then it just one eyed me for a bit, and went under and swam away. Just behind Blackbeards Island in the ICW.
Just there saw an 8 ft tide. Amaxing place.
We spotted one close to Hilton Head
GA actually, but still very cool
