I have a 25 foot houseboat and want to travel the ICW from Palm bay Fl to Onieda lake NY...My boat is not very seaworthy and wondering if the ICW is inland all the way or are there spots where I have to go into the ocean? How long would a trip like this take? etc.

Comment submitted by Ron Baseford on 22 January, 2010 - 12:23 Fred. I believe Ralph is right. We are making the trip from Oriental NC to Georgian Bay Canada via that route. I believe you go out into the ocean at Manasquan,NJ and make a 44 mile trip to the Battery New York. Waterway Guide northern edition covers the route from Cape May to New York pretty well. If you go on the New York canal system web site they cover the Erie Canal system to the Onieda Lake trip.
