Notices to Mariners for the FL East Coast ICW

[Captain Bill]

Heading north for the summer on the FL ICW. Wondering where I can find info on shoaling or notices to mariners about tough spots. Particularly, where the Matanzas river joins the ICW south of St. Augustine. This spot has been totally shoalled in on some of my previous trips and I'm wondering if anyone has been through there lately and is it passable?

I had no problems coming South through there in November*at half tide with 4' draft if that helps.

Bill, Go to www.waterwayguide.com, on my signature, Lots of info on problem spots and links to the Coast Guard local Notice to Mariners. BTW, Lots of posts from folks that have transited Matanzas in the last weeks. Chuck
