One of the coolest things about the Charleston [1] and Savannah [2] area is the prevalence of the Intracoastal Waterway, a combined manmade/natural sheltered seaway going from Miami to Maine. Many boaters enjoy touring the coast by simply meandering up or down the Intracoastal, putting in at marinas along the way. There’s a website for Intracoastal information at wwww.cruiseguides.com and a good resource of area marinas at www.marinamate.com [3].
