Der Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway (AICW) ist ein geschützter Wasserweg hinter der Küste: eine Kette aus natürlichen Flüssen, Lagunen, Buchten und gebaggerten Durchstichen, die das US Army Corps of Engineers unterhält. Er beginnt bei Meile 0 in Norfolk, Virginia, und führt nach Süden durch die Sounds von North Carolina, die Marschen von South Carolina und Georgia und an der Küste Floridas entlang bis Miami, mit Verlängerungen bis Key West. Der Gulf ICW setzt sich von Florida nach Westen Richtung Texas fort.
Die Snowbirds, Überwinterer aus dem Norden, ziehen im Oktober und November nach Süden und kehren im April und Mai zurück. Die meisten Crews brauchen 3 bis 6 Wochen, fahren nur bei Tageslicht und ankern oder gehen in Marinas. Bei Norfolk hast du die Wahl zwischen dem Virginia Cut und dem Dismal Swamp Canal, und wenn das Wetter passt, kannst du an den Inlets (Seegatten) hinaus und draußen auf dem Atlantik weiterfahren. Gebühren gibt es keine.
Die Solltiefe beträgt 12 Fuß (3,7 m) von Norfolk bis Fort Pierce und 10 Fuß (3 m) von dort bis Miami, aber weil das Geld fürs Baggern knapp ist, versanden viele Stellen. Die Gezeitenströme sind stark, und in Georgia und den Carolinas gibt es viele bekannte Problemstellen. Dazu kommen zahlreiche bewegliche Brücken und feste Brücken mit einer Standardhöhe von 65 Fuß (19,8 m).
Höhepunkte
- Dismal Swamp Canal
- Albemarle Sound und die Outer Banks
- Charleston und Savannah
- Die Marschen der Golden Isles in Georgia
- Indian River und Palm Beach in Florida
Worauf achten
- Versandung und starke Strömungen in den Carolinas und in Georgia
- Brücken öffnen nach Fahrplan; dazu feste Brücken mit 65 ft (19,8 m) oder weniger
- Hurrikansaison (Juni bis November)
- Heckwellen und Schubverbände der Berufsschifffahrt in engen Durchstichen
