Came in via LEI on Sunday morning. Well marked, no issues. Piece of cake.

Great news! Now if they would only dredge the ICW between LEI and Atlantic City....Has anyone navigated the ICW between those two points during a low tide in 2016?
Sounds like a typical summer Saturday around here.You haven't lived until you've run an inlet when the wind and tide are in opposition. Or until your anus puckers up as you watch your sounder go from 11 to 4 feet in a matter of seconds, in the channel. Or until you are cut off by a center console doing 35, as you are trapped in the wake of a 40' Silverton aft cabin that youre trying to overtake dragging his ass at 14 knots, and suddenly spot, emerging from behind a snailbloat towing a beat-ass Zodiac, two pineys in a rented skiff with a 9.9 fishing inside the marker. Oh, and here comes a couple of Starbucks-sipping naturalists in his and hers kayaks! Yeah, good times. You NJ guys know what I'm talking about. Won't be long now. If you can boat here, you can boat anywhere!
Totally agree. I know a lot of the members of Absecon Island Power Squadron (Atlantic City area) keep their boats in the Baltimore area. I ran aground once in the Little Egg Inlet area and dinged up the props; very costly and inconvenient!I hate inlets. I hate shallow water. Why do you people boat in New Jersey when the Chesapeake Bay is so close?

You must be on the south shore!
