Post by Kokomo »

Has anyone ever taken the backway (via Core Sound) to Cape Lookout NC? Any problems for a 3 ft. draft???

I have not run that route but a friend in a PDQ 32 ran the back route from Cape Lookout to Beaufort with no problems. It did get a little skinny. Good Luck.

We are leaving in early December and will stay in the Abacos this year. Maybe we will see you.

Hi Roger + Bonnie - Never did that, but I have talked to some who have - that was in a Gemini with Boards so they really were shoal draft. They made it with no problem but it was VERY shallow. We've made the run outside from Beaufort to Cape Lookout and it's well worth that trip - Beautiful spot. We're sitting in Elizabeth City, 10/12 and I heard we just missed you.
