On the ICW (intercostal waterway)
Good friends and our neighbors on dock six at Port Charles marina in St Louis
Robin and her mom
Making way up the ICW. I decided to run up the intercostal rather than on the outside in the open water since the boat was new to us and I didn't want any supprises out at sea. Anyway the Icw is far more interesting if you don't mind the bridges.
leaving the 11th bridge we had to have opened for us. Boat hieght is 18ft
Lower helm
light snack in saloon (salons are spelled saloon on boats) Who knows why???
