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?

The Rogue Wave
The fear and mystery about sea monsters and rogue waves goes back to the early seafarers. With much improved technology, computers, and satellites, we know much more about this phenomena today…and they are much more common than previously believed.1 Facebook Likes, 1 Facebook Reactions
