hi all,
we need to get our boat from stuart, fl to sarasota, fl in 1 months time. we're trying to assess whether it will be possible to safely transit the icw between ft myers and venice. our boat is a pdq powercat with a 3' draft. we only travel in daylight, anchor out most of the time. i'd rather not go the long way around (i.e. miami/marathon/marco?). i've thought about going out into the gulf at the east end of sanibel causeway but need one stop (cayo costa?) and it assumes i can get to that opening from ft myers.
i've been searching the internet for info on channel changes and blockages but so far info in spotty and not a lot. i realize it's soon after ian and maybe the info is not out there yet. any help would be greatly appreciated.
disregard the signature, that's our other boat.
