Congratulations, very nice!!
Have you considered plotting a path like 5 or so miles offshore to parallel the coast with port locations for food, fuel and rest? Should cut the trip time and distance considerably. I know the channels from the sounds to ocean getting in or out can be a real bastard when the wind and tide fight each other. If you needed to get from offshore to avoid bad weather.

Again appreciate the comments.
Pipe, no not giving the V20 away for free, love that ol' girl too much. Seriously. Tsubaki if I was seasoned with her I might run outside, but right now I like the idea of being inside and being able to anchor up if needed. Been looking at the tides and times and I'm gonna run her myself, whether it takes 3-4 days or a week. Its crazy, after studying charts and online info, parts that worried me before aren't so bad and others are worse. We're just gonna take our time, watch the tides and depths and get home when we get home. It will be a learning experience. Still appreciative of comments or advice.

Hey Bradford sorry just saw your post. I've ran the GA portion of the ICW from Sapelo to Cumberland but that's the only experience I have with it. Only place that really sucks in by Jekyll. It's super shallow by the wharf. You have to keep fairly close to the docks at low tide. Otherwise Army Corps and USCG do a pretty good job of maintenance on that run through GA

We made it! Boat, wifey and myself, all did great, really proud of my wife. I'll give a more detailed account later, but was well worth it.
