We are starting to toy with the notion of a trip up the coast for the summer, from FL to NC. I've read the threads here and elsewhere on the pros and cons of inside vs. outside, and we would likely do a mix of both. I'm starting to plan and research. Currently I'm spending most of my time on ActiveCaptain and OpenCPN
Many folks have recommended cruisersnet.net (aka Salty Southeast Cruisers Net), but I find the site to be not really user friendly, and in many cases not all that recent.
What is currently viewed as the best source of up-to-date AICW information? Something that would tell us, just for example, about any lingering effects from Hurricane Matthew last year.
In addition, which cruising guide(s) do you recommend for the FL to NC stretch?
