HISTORY OF THE INTRACOASTAL WATERWAY

The Intracoastal Waterway is a 4,800-km(3,000-mile) waterway along the Atlanticand Gulf coasts of the United States.Some lengths consist of natural inlets,salt-water rivers, bays, and sounds; othersare man-made canals.

The waterway runs for most of the lengthof the Eastern Seaboard, from its unoffi-cial northern terminus at the Manasquan River in New Jersey, where it con-nects with the Atlantic Ocean at the Manasquan Inlet, to Brownsville, Texas.The waterway is toll-free, but commercial users pay a fuel tax that is used tomaintain and improve it. The ICW is a significant portion of the Great Loop, acircumnavigation route encircling the Eastern half of the North American con-tinent.

The creation of the Intracoastal Waterway was authorized by the United StatesCongress in 1919. It is maintained by the United States Army Corps ofEngineers. Federal law provides for the waterway to be maintained at a mini-mum depth of 12 ft (4 m) for most of its length, but inadequate funding hasprevented that. Consequently, shoaling or shallow water are problems alongseveral sections of the waterway; some parts have 7-ft (2.1-m) and 9-ft (2.7-m)minimum depths. The waterway consists of two non-contiguous segments: theGulf Intracoastal Waterway, extending from Brownsville, Texas to Carrabelle,Florida, and the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, extending from Key West,Florida to Norfolk, Virginia (milepost 0.0). The two segments were originallyintended to be connected via the Cross Florida Barge Canal across northernFlorida, but this was never completed due to environmental concerns.Additional canals and bays extend a navigable waterway to Boston,Massachusetts.

The Intracoastal Waterway has a good deal of commercial activity; barges haulpetroleum, petroleum products, foodstuffs, building materials, and manufac-tured goods. It is also used extensively by recreational boaters. On the eastcoast, some of the traffic in fall and spring is by snowbirds who regularlymove south in winter and north in summer. The waterway is also used whenthe ocean is too rough to travel on. Numerous inlets connect the Atlantic andthe Gulf of Mexico with the Intracoastal Waterway.

100% acid and caustic free

Now the technology used by the world’s leading cruise lines, U.S. Navy and Coast Guard is available to private boat owners and boat repair shops.

Triton Marine products replace the harsh acids, caustics and solvents you are using now, without sacrificing the cleaning power you want. Try the Non-Skid Deck Cleaner that cleans the decks of aircraft carriers. Or the flushes that clean the engines and water lines of the world’s largest cruise and naval ships. Triton Marine products are so safe and effective that they are endorsed by some of the industry’s premiere yacht manufacturers.

Triton Marine products include:

Triton Marine products not only clean faster and are safer than any other products on the market, they treat the boat surfaces making them easier to keep clean over time.

And because Triton Marine products are built on EMS’ patented synthetic SynTech® and SynClean® technologies, they have earned triple-zero HMIS scores and have been recognized by the EPA’s Design for Environment for safer chemistry www.epa.gov/dfe.

“Your marine descaler removed four years' accumulation of deposits from our ship’s interior piping system. The environmental friendliness of your product resulted in a cost savings in water disposal fees of $1,000. TCLP tests were conducted on the effluent and no unacceptable levels of trace (RCRA) metals were found. I consider your product to be ideal for the system cleaning on U.S. military vessels."

Lt. P.D. StukusU.S.S. Vigilant

”I used the Triton Engine Flush and it’s revolutionary. It worked 10 times faster than the dangerous acids and without any of the problems I’ve dealt with over the years.”

John DuvallCertified Silverton Marine Technician

”The EMS product outperformed all others we tested in cleaning power. There were no fumes at all, which can not be said of even the most benign cleaners we’ve tried. We consider your cleaner to be our product of choice.”

Slower speeds on the water will reduce fuel usage.Proper use of trim tabs reduce drag, especially while accelerating up to planingspeeds.Minimize the amount of time that you idle at the dockMinimize the use of onboard generators.Use dock-side electrical power in lieu of generators.Have a float plan so you know exactly where you’re going.Make sure the hull is clean.Don’t under-power your boat. It’s important you have enough motor to handlethe load.Check your propeller. If your boat is slow "out of the hole" or lacks top-endspeed, you might have the wrong propeller.A well-tuned engine uses less fuel.Use the grade of gasoline specified by the engine manufacturer.

HOW TO BOAT SMART: NAVIGATION BUOYS

Buoys and markers are the "traffic signals" that guide vessel operators safely along somewaterways. They also identify dangerous or controlled areas and give directions andinformation. As a recreational boat or PWC operator, you will need to know the lateralnavigation markers and non-lateral markers of the U.S. Aids to Navigation System.

LLAATTEERRAALL MMAARRKKEERRSS

These navigation aids mark the edges of safe water areas; for example, directing travelwithin a channel. The markers use a combination of colors and numbers, which mayappear on either buoys or permanently placed markers.

CCoolloorrss aanndd NNuummbbeerrssThe colors and numbers have the same meaning regardless of the kind of buoy or markeron which they appear.

BBuuooyy aanndd MMaarrkkeerr CCoolloorr aanndd NNuummbbeerr DDeessccrriippttiioonnssRReedd CCoolloorrss,, RReedd LLiigghhttss,, aanndd EEvveenn NNuummbbeerrss:: These mark the edge of thechannel on your starboard (right) side as you enter from the open sea or headupstream. Numbers usually will increase consecutively as you return from theopen sea or head upstream.

GGrreeeenn CCoolloorrss,, GGrreeeenn LLiigghhttss,, aanndd OOdddd NNuummbbeerrss:: These mark the edge of thechannel on your port (left) side as you enter from the open sea or headupstream. Numbers usually will increase consecutively as you return from theopen sea or head upstream.

RReedd aanndd GGrreeeenn CCoolloorrss aanndd//oorr LLiigghhttss:: These are placed at the junction of twochannels to indicate the preferred (primary) channel when a channel splits. Ifgreen is on top, the preferred channel is to the right. If red is on top, the pre-ferred channel is to the left. These also are sometimes referred to as "junctionbuoys."

BBuuooyy SShhaappee DDeessccrriippttiioonnssNNuunn BBuuooyyss:: These cone-shaped buoys are always marked with red markingsand even numbers. They mark the edge of the channel on your starboard (right)side when entering from the open sea or heading upstream.

CCaann BBuuooyyss:: These cylindrical-shaped buoys are always marked with greenmarkings and odd numbers. They mark the edge of the channel on your port(left) side when entering from the open sea or heading upstream.

OOtthheerr KKiinnddss ooff BBuuooyyss aanndd MMaarrkkeerrssLLiigghhtteedd BBuuooyyss:: These buoys use the lateral marker shapes, colors, and num-bers discussed above. In addition, they have a matching colored light.

DDaayymmaarrkkss:: These are permanently placed signs attached to structures, such asposts, in the water. Common daymarks are red triangles (equivalent to nuns)and green squares (equivalent to cans). These may be lighted also.

NNOONN--LLAATTEERRAALL MMAARRKKEERRSS

Non-lateral markers are navigation aids that give information other than the edges of safewater areas. The most common are regulatory markers that are white and use orangemarkings and black lettering. These markers are found on lakes and rivers and are usedto:

GGiivvee DDiirreeccttiioonnss aanndd IInnffoorrmmaattiioonn..• Warn of hazards and obstructions.• Mark controlled areas.• Mark exclusion (closed) areas.• Descriptions of Non-Lateral Markers

IInnffoorrmmaattiioonn Squares provide information such as places to find food, supplies, and repairs;and they give directions, distances, and other non-regulatory information.

DDaannggeerr AArreeaaDiamonds warn of dangers such as rocks, shoals, construction, dams, orstumps. Always proceed with caution and keep a safe distance. Never assumethat every hazard will be marked by a buoy.

CCoonnttrroolllleedd AArreeaaCircles indicate a controlled area such as no wake, idle speed, speed limit, orski zone.

EExxcclluussiioonn AArreeaaCrossed diamonds indicate areas off-limits to all vessels such as swimmingareas, dams, and spillways.

SSaaffee WWaatteerr MMaarrkkeerrThese are white with red vertical stripes and indicate unobstructed water on allsides. They mark mid-channels or fairways and may be passed on either side.

IInnllaanndd WWaatteerrss OObbssttrruuccttiioonn MMaarrkkeerrThese are white with black vertical stripes and indicate an obstruction to navi-gation. You should not pass between these buoys and the nearest shore.

KEY LIME PIE RECIPE

4 egg yolks

Key Lime juice (more than 1/3 cup;less than 1/2 cup)

1 (14 oz) can condensed milk

1 egg white

1 (9 inch) pie crust (graham craker orregular, your preference)

Whipped Topping

In a glass bowl, beat egg yolks; blend in condensed milk and lime juice.

Beat egg white in a separate bowl until fairly dry; blend into filling mixture.

Pour into pie shell; bake in a 350-degree oven for about 15 minutes.

Cool thoroughly; cover and refrigerate for 4 hours or so.

Top with whipped topping before serving.

Yield” 6 to 8 servings.

The grated peel from 1 lime adds to the tartness of the filling. The originalkey lime pie is topped with meringue, but the whipped topping is easier.Persian lime may be substituted. The lime juice, sweetened condensed milkand egg are the signature ingredients for the way a lime pie is prepared inthe keys.


LIGHTNING PROTECTION GUIDE

Even though the odds are in your favor thatyour boat may never be hit by lightning, if ithappens it can have devastating effects.Don’t take a chance, protect yourself. If youare in a small boat and close to shore when athunderstorm approaches, get in and off thewater immediately. Better yet, don't go out ifthunderstorms are predicted. But what if youare miles offshore and a storm pops up?Hopefully, you have prepared in advance.

The voltages involved in lightning are sohigh that even materials that would normallybe considered non-conductive become con-ductors, including the human body. The volt-ages are so massive that if they start to travelthrough a boat's structure - say through itsmast - then meet with high resistance (forinstance, the hull skin) the current discharge,in its attempt to reach ground, may simplyblow a hole in the non-conductive barrier.The safety conscious Captain should makesure that his vessel is properly protected.

In theory, a lightning protection system isused to create what is know as a “Faraday’scage,” so called after the late nineteenth-cen-tury scientist Michael Faraday. The principleis to provide a surrounding, well-grounded,metal structure, in which all of parts arebonded together and carry the same electricalpotential. Such a “cage” attracts and carriesany lightning strike to ground much likelightning rods on buildings. You need to pro-vide an unobstructed way for the lightning todissipate its energy to ground (the water sur-rounding you). The additional benefit of alightning protection system is that it tends tobleed off any charge build-up in the generalvicinity, possibly averting a lightning strikein the first place.

So how does a lightning protection systemwork? In a boat, the “cage” is formed bybonding together, with heavy conductors, the

vessel's mast andall other majormetal masses. Amarine electri-cian must tie inthe engines,stoves, air condi-tioning compres-sors, railings,arches etc. witha low resistancewire whichwould ultimately provide a conductive path toground (the water) usually via the engine andpropeller shaft, keel bolts, or better yet, a sepa-rate external ground plate at least 1 sq. ft. indimension. It is important that you ensure thatyour crew fall within the protection of thecage,” something not always feasible when thevessel is not built of steel or aluminum. Onfiberglass or wooden boats it is advantageousto have a mast or other conductive metal pro-trusion extending well above the vessel, creat-ing what is known as a “cone” or zone of pro-tection.

It is generally accepted that this cone of pro-tection extends 45 degrees, all around, fromthe tip of the metal protrusion. If the alu-minum mast of the average sailing vessel isproperly bonded to the vessel’s other majormetal masses and is given a direct, low-resist-ance conductive path to ground, the entire boatshould fall within the protected zone. If thevessel has a wooden or composite mast, amarine electrician can achieve the same effectby installing a 6 to 12 inch metal spike at thetop and running a heavy conductor down themast and as directly as possible to ground,usually through the engine and propeller shaft.Again, refer to the ABYC standards and havea professional marine electrician install yourlightning protection.This is not a do-it-yourselfproject.

Captains along the US East Coast are looking to make the transit toward their winter grounds. Theshortest way may be a straight line, but it may not the best option from the standpoint of time, com-fort, fuel efficiency, and ultimately, the safety of the vessel and the people onboard. Here are somegeneral guidelines:

GGuullffssttrreeaamm RRoouuttiinngg:: Should really only be considered in “light” weather and/or in following winds(SE-S-SW winds), and only when heading northward. The Gulfstream can be a tremendous asset interms of saving time and fuel, with the fast north to northeast moving currents providing a nice pushup the east coast. The Gulfstream gets rough when winds move in the opposite direction of the cur-rent. Winds moving opposite the flow of the current tend to “pile up” the water, resulting in high andsteep seas that can develop quickly. Watch for the potential for squalls.

CCooaassttaall RRoouuttiinngg:: The safest and most flexible option. If the weather is expected to be marginal,routing along the coast usually offers lower winds/seas than more offshore waters. This allows the avessel to duck into port should conditions become too uncomfortable. Coastal routing is also a goodoption when there is the potential for squall activity. When heading southward along the US EastCoast south of Cape Hatteras this is the way to go, keeping the vessel from fighting the against cur-rents of the Gulfstream.

IInntteerrccooaassttaall WWaatteerrwwaayy ((IICCWW)) RRoouuttiinngg:: Cruising the ICW takes additional time and fuel andsmaller vessels with lower thresholds will find the ICW most helpful. In times of heavy weather,when even coastal routing would not lower conditions to a comfortable/safe level, this is the answer.This is true for captains who are under time constraints and don’t have the option of delaying in portfor better weather. It is also handy during longer voyages where only a small portion of the routeinvolves heavy weather. One should be cautious, however, that heavier, more severe squalls can be ahindrance to travel through the ICW, due to reduced visibility and navigational concerns.

Skilled, trained Meteorologists, like those at Weather Routing Inc are always mindful of these advan-tages/disadvantages. Safe travels to all, no matter where your plans take you.


MOVEABLE BRIDGE GUIDE

The signal to request opening of a drawbridge is one prolonged blast followed by one short blast.To contact a bridge with marine radio, use VHF 9 as a calling and working frequency. The bridgewill also monitor channel 16.

BE ADVISED that opening schedules may change for bridge construction, maintenance, inclementweather conditions, or special events. Please contact the District or the U.S. Coast Guard for a list-ing of these temporary schedule changes.

Fixed bridges crossing the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway are not listed in this guide. All fixedbridges crossing the channel of the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway in Florida have a clearance of65 feet above MHW except the Julia Tuttle Causeway in Miami, which has a 56 foot clearance.

Horizontal clearance between fenders at most bridges is 90 feet or greater, however, some bridgesmay be less. The Bridge of Lions and the Venetian Causeway have the least horizontal clearances.

MANATEE MARKERS

MMaannaatteeeess aanndd tthhee LLaawwManatees are protected by the MarineMammal Protection Act of 1972, theEndangered Species Act of 1973 and theFlorida Manatee Sanctuary Act of 1978. It isillegal to harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot,wound, kill, annoy or molest manatees. Thestate of Florida has also established regulatoryspeed zones to protect the manatee and itshabitat. Anyone convicted of violating statelaw faces maximum fines of $500 and/orimprisonment of up to 60 days. Conviction forviolating federal protection laws is punishableby fines up to $100,000 and/or one year inprison.

WWhhaatt CCaann BBooaatteerrss DDoo??You can reduce your chances of harming amanatee by following these simple guidelines:

Observe and follow all boating speed zonesigns.

Slow down. Reducing boat speed gives you agreater chance to avoid a manatee. You willalso increase your safety margin with otherboats. Remember to post a lookout.

Use marked channels whenever possible.Manatees have shown signs that they areavoiding heavy boat traffic areas. Channeldepth reduces the likelihood of pinning orcrushing manatees.

Wear polarized sunglasses while operating aboat. Polarized lenses make it much easier tosee objects beneath the surface and the“swirling” that occurs when a manatee dives.(The swirls look like a large “footprint” on thewater’s surface or a series of half moonswirls.)

Post a proper lookout while boating. A properlookout is a person on board designated tolook out for wildlife, other boaters, swimmersor obstructions when the vessel is underway.Plan for safety.

BBooaattiinngg SSppeeeedd ZZoonneessTo alert the boater and protect the manatee inits sanctuaries, the law provides regulatoryzones on wateways. Here are typical signsfound on Florida’s waterways:

NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL REEFS

NNAATTUURRAALL RREEEEFFSS

A natural reef is a raised hard surface that providesa home for encrusting creatures. Some examples ofthese creatures are anemones, bryozoans, hydroidsand sponges. Different kinds of fish are also attract-ed to reefs for shelter, protection from predators andto find food. Reefs also encourage seaweed andinvertebrates. Coral reefs support 25 percent of seacreatures and are one of the most fragile and threat-ened of the world's ecosystems. Just under a hun-dred country's natural reefs have been impaired by human activity. If this rate of deterioration contin-ues, 70 % of our planet's reefs will be annihilated within 60 years. An effect of this would be the ero-sion of coastal shorelines which in some cases would result in the disappearance of small islands.The major threats to coral reefs are: sedimentation caused by construction, mining and farming;dynamiting fishing sites; fishing with cyanide; collecting and dredging of coral reefs; water pollution;garbage dumped into the oceans; human run off; careless recreation; global warming.AARRTTIIFFIICCIIAALL RREEEEFFSS

The word "reef" usually conjures up visions of the beautiful coral reefs that can be seen in certainparts of South Florida, the Bahamas, and the Caribbean. However, coral may actually make up lessthan half of the material in a reef with other organisms binding the various components together asa habitat. Any submerged feature, including those made of rock or manmade materials may bereferred to as a reef. Reefs are primarily a habitat for a wide variety of plants and animals. Theyflourish when the surrounding seawater is relatively nutrient poor, largely because they can utilizenutrients very effectively. Their species diversity is rivaled only by tropical rain forests. Reefinhabitants include many types of algae and several invertebrates, such as hard and soft corals,anemones, sponges and many species of arthropods, such as lobster, crabs and shrimp. An amazingvariety of fish is also characteristic of reefs. These organisms use this unique habitat for feeding,breading and sleeping. Over the last several decades, nursery habitats for many fish and shellfish have been significantlyreduced by the development of our coastal areas. The reduction of these habitats, along withincreased pressures on our remaining coastal resources, has led to tremendous decline in themarine life population. This is why artificial reefs are so important. They provide food, shelter,protection and spawning areas for hundreds of species of fish and other marine organisms. Butartificial reefs are not just for fish. They also provide alternate areas for SCUBA divers and fisher-man to use, reducing the "user-pressures" that natural reefs endure. Almost anything placed on theocean floor can become the hard base needed for reef development under the right conditions.Artificial reefs are manmade habitats built from various materials including rock, old ships, heavy-gauge steel structures, and precast concrete structures They may also be constructed of a variety ofprefabricated reef modules, designed to attract certain types of fish or other marine creatures. Tocreate a permanent reef; however, the base material must not be tossed around by wave action, orrust away. Bundles of tires and appliances are no longer used for artificial reefs because they aretoo light and are moved around by storms. Additionally, the area selected for placement of the arti-ficial reef must be relatively stable and hard, thus preventing the new reef base from sinking intothe sand and rendering it useless.
