**Double D** · 10-09-2007 07:06 PM

Leaving Saturday out of Manasquan, weather permitting.

Itinerary is Rudee Sat, Morehead Sun, Charleston Mon, St Augustine Tues, Lauderdale Weds. Running outside as much as possible. Boat is going to CR via Dockwise

Any local knowledge would be mucho appreciated. Last time I made this trip was 20 years ago

Or if anybody wants to grab a burger or beer, give me a shout

Charleston is deceptive how far the buoys head out. Its several miles. Aim most of the way down the channel to save time and remember the tides there are like 8 feet...St. augustine take the first lft (get there in daylight so you can see the markers). "Conch house" is great restaurant and marina with cheapish fuel (compared to here).
I don't know much about Morehead except that it was tough to find a slip in town and theres a bunch of really odd funny talkin people.
