Newt:
   If you come up the coast to the Hudson, you'll be going right by my home port. Stop in for a pizza and a cold one...invitation is an open one. It does sound like a great adventure!
   I'm not ICW expert but I believe except for some outside sailing from Cape May, NJ to Atlantic City, NJ, you can stay inside all the way from sunny, funny Fla-di-da. When you come in at AC, the ICW heads north through the salt mashes of Brigantine, skirts along Great Bay and then runs alongside Long Beach Island. As you continue north, you'll eventually go under the Causeway Bridge which brings you into Manahawkin Bay. Just north of the bridge, at marker #s 67 and 68, you'll be about 1 nm from my mooring. If I'm out sailing, I may bump into you. Just look for the Compac 23 with the grey-haired geezer at the tiller!

Newt,

If you come down the TennTom, the pretty route to the Gulf Coast, much better than staying on the Mississippi the whole way, you will go through my home port Bay Springs Marina, on Bay Springs Lake. The Marina is a stone's throw from the Bay Springs lock and dam that forms the lake.  Plan an overnight and there will be no cooking on the boat that night, we'll take care of you.

If you time the run to be through there mid May 2011, I'll join you as far as Port St Joe Florida.  Planning to take my 23 down there by water in that time frame.

This link from a sailor who made the reverse trip after BEER this past June, coming from Florida to Tennessee.  Lots of pictures and video's of the trip.

You guys are very kind. The trip has been in the planning stage for about two years now, because my partners do not want me to drop to half time. Well, I think it is going to happen in July 2011. (at least they haven't suggested I move it back again.) Anyway, getting my boat ready.
Bob and Brach: I will be on the net (I plan on putting wifi on before I go, or at least a laptop and I will find hot-spots) So you guys will have plenty of warning. The Tenn-Tom sounds alot more fun. And I am not going to let Bob get out of that Pizza!
