Sailing the Intracostal Waterway (Indian River, Titusville, FL)

Next winter I'm hoping to keep my Catalina 22 in a slip in Titusville and sail on the Indian River there. Some of the charts show the water as quite shallow. The boat is a swing keel so draw is about 2 feet with the keel up. Has anyone sailed this area? Advice? Also is there a source for navigational maps? I've just been looking at the small maps on Google. Or is there an app for my iPad or iPhone?

I am in Titusville.

With a swing keel you should have no problems sailing there. I have a 5'6" fin so am a bit restricted to the channel.

For a good iPhone/pad app I use Isailor. With it you buy the charts once and you have them on all your devices. I have been using it since 2012.

We are at the City marina on A. E would be good as it is floating but watch out for C & D dock. They get bouncy with a NE blow.
