Traveling down the ICW

This is what much of the ICW looks like around the barrier islands of Georgia and above.  Flat and marshy.  I am going to just include some random ICW photos in this post to give you a feel of what it looks like traveling the waterway.  There are a few ocean pics as well.

We are guessing this boat possibly was blown up on land by a hurricane.  But who knows?

We had a fair amount of company at times -all returning north after the winter.


We traveled with these folks for awhile - they were headed to Cape Cod.  Beautiful boat!!

 This is a swing bridge - it just spins around and lets you go through.  
 This huge container ship looks like its aground but its not - its actually heading out to sea.
 
 This boat however is aground - not sure what happened here.

 One of the more interesting parts of the trip was traveling thru the portion of the ICW that is actually part of Camp Lejeune.  They do live firing across the waterway and you must have permission to transit the area.  You have to call the base the night before you plan to travel and talk with whoever is in charge of the firing range that day.  They will give you permission - or not for your travel.

Another hitchhiker - he joined us one day while out on the Atlantic.  Stayed till we arrived in port.
We saw many shrimp boats with all the birds looking for free food - I always think its neat to see.
