Peter,

One other thought.  Pick up the 2014 Waterway Guide for the ICW.  I and others 
updated that last spring. Since then, there have been over 500 updates and 
those can be found on the Waterway Guide web site.  If you follow the guide and 
read the updates on the web site, you will have the most current, up to date 
information available.  When I send in an update say on shoaling in a cut in 
Georgia, it is posted on the site within 6 hours. You can't get any more 
current information.  Web site is free.  Waterway Guide is $39. Cheap insurance 
to save a night like you had. 

Cheers,

Hank

I got stuck in the mud one night just passed coinjock pretty bad, no tides 
there.  It was that first left bend.  When you make that first left after the 
stretch of straight waterway at coinjock.    Trying to get myself out of the 
mud not knowing if I’m in the channel or not was not fun.  Took anchor 
deployments, tilting the boat by rising the dinghy on the boom along the side, 
etc….  I was muddy tired and miserable, about the say f** it and just go to bed 
like that, but then I saw a huge tug come right by me too close for comfort.  
They all appear bigger and closer all lit up in pitch black.    He obviously 
just went about his business probably laughing hi a88 off.  By the wee hours of 
the morning I was once again floating, and decided to go back to a slip in 
coinjock and sleep for a while.  

The next morning I was freaking out a little bit even in daylight going by the 
scene of the “death trap”.  

>From that day on, never in the dark in the ICW.  

My old log from those days is here.
