Navigating Shallows With NO Depth Sounder 😬 Ep-196
ICW boating, shallow water navigation, Fort Pierce to Vero Beach — in today’s episode we motor up the Intracoastal Waterway with a broken depth transducer, making every mile sketchy as we pass through Vero Beach, Melbourne Beach and Eau Gallie. Along the way we spot playful dolphins and explore beautiful, well-kept neighbourhoods that show off the charm of Florida’s Space Coast.
We stop to explore what each city has to offer before threading our way through a narrow channel into a quiet hurricane hole to hide from incoming strong winds and stormy weather.
