We got this e-mail on November 9th. As you can see the ICW would be closed on November 10th at mile 372.3. Unfortunately we were at mile 355. Not a good thing. We signed up for another night at the Barefoot Marina and enjoyed our stay. We took our bikes out and went to re-provision.
The marina and the one across the way is full today because nobody can go very far. It should be quite a crowd heading south tomorrow.
