There is one bridge in the Carolinas (I'd have to look back as to where) with overhead clearance of 64 feet.

There are 2 bridges, the one on the Alligator-Pungo Canal and there is one on the Virgina canal just north of Coinjock.

The holding tank will likely need emptying before 10 days. :poop:

Off shore you simply dump into the ocean. I don't actually even use the inside head unless it's bad weather while off shore. Running the ICW there are plenty of pump-outs as far as I know. If course, I don't use pump-outs as both of my heads are composting heads.

Two bridges - The Socastee Bridge, and the Pungo Ferry bridge I mentioned above. The Dismal isn't an option with that draft. He's better off to try to go outside as much as possible. I read the thread he linked and that sounds like his plan.

That's great. Working on convincing the Admiral. (So far she's not convinced.) Two years ago we had bad weather timing and went inside from Brunswick GA to Georgetown SC. I was disappointed at how many pumpouts were "inoperable" according to the marinas, and how few had pumpouts installed. That stuff has to go somewhere and I'm sure not all the boats were taking it offshore 3nm.

And yet another reason I'm so glad I have composting heads...
