A 40-ft sailboat, Athena, runs aground in a shallow, uncharted section of the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW) near St. Augustine, Florida, after the crew relies on AquaMaps instead of checking Navionics for user-generated shoaling warnings.11:17 The vessel, which has a 1.5-meter draft, remains stuck in the mud overnight until the rising tide allows it to refloat the following morning.13:25 During the transit from Florida to North Carolina, the crew navigates multiple opening bridges by hailing on VHF channel 9 and manages narrow, current-prone sections like Hell Gate by timing passages for slack water.9:57 To maintain visibility while hand-steering, the crew uses a cooler and a step stool as a makeshift helm seat.7:44 The transit highlights the importance of cross-referencing multiple charting apps for local hazards and the necessity of monitoring tidal ranges in the Georgia and North Carolina marshes.12:19 Relying on a single chart plotter without checking community-contributed hazard markers can lead to grounding in the ICW.12:19
