Fla Big Bend (West Coast)

[War Eagle]

I posted on the Cruising board, but it looks like one gets more replies here. I draw 4' and would love to explore some of the ports along here, such as St.Marks.... I have Rick Rhodes book and it sounds great, but how touch is it to negotiate the inlets to safe water, either marinas, or anchors? We will be coming down from North Carolina this year
