Hey Blue, I put in at a public ramp just south of Murrells Inlet and I have made the trip several times and it is a nice trip. If you follow the markers you will not hit any sand bars. I would suggest that you use the ramp at the Reserve Marina which cost $5.00 to launch, they have secured parking and nice bathrooms for the ladies. From there to Isle of Palms should be around 75 miles. In my opinion that is the best part of the ICW. As far as my mileage, I just divide the miles by two to determine how many gallons that I will need. When you plan the trip let me know and I'll try to meet up with you on your first part of the trip. Normally we are out on the water if the weather is half way decent and if we don't have other obligations.
