I've made plenty of mistakes sailing solo in the ICW and hopefully those mentioned here will help others avoid doing the same.

Walker - I hope things are well in the UK. I never comment on YouTube but your videos really are top shelf! I'm slowly working my way through you catalog with much enjoyment. My house is in your ICW 2013 video just south of the little river swing bridge about 1/2 mile before the rock garden. I giggled when I saw it. As a local I still hit that damn coquina that was blasted away years ago. There are plenty of stories along that stretch and with the anchorage you selected at Calabash crossroads. Your video(s) have motivated me to reach out more to cruisers that are in my back yard. Not just southern hospitality but hopefully to meet interesting cool cats like yourself that have a wealth of usable knowledge. Let us know if you do a return trip to our area as you are a welcomed guest! All the best. Quint 1982 Grady White Swordfish

The ICW markers are marked with small yellow triangles and squares indicating whether nun or can with respect to the ICW. When in doubt looking for this yellow mark helps you assure you are looking at an ICW marker.

If you come to a can on the ICW there should be a yellow square. A nun has a yellow triangle. BUT, if the ICW marker is counter to the waterway marker, such as being a can on a river but a nun on the ICW, the marker will be a green can with a yellow triangle.

The image with question 3 on this link shows the #5 with a yellow square indicating an ICW can where #7 Shows a yellow triangle indicating an ICW nun. The ICW on this image passes between #5 and #7.
