Anyone who is attempting to do the Great Loop knows by now that water is often a problem! There isn't enough of it. We left New Smyrna Beach yesterday morning fully aware of certain shoal areas that would probably be problematic. We planned the passage on an incoming tide, close to full. We had two trawlers ahead of us. One grounded, the other did not. We, being the third, indeed kissed the bottom but recovered without the need for any drastic measures. We saw this dredge, owned and operated by the Palm Cove Marina, near Jacksonville. We are trying to find a way to partner with this vessel and send it on ahead. So far, they don't seem too enthusiastic about our suggestion.
