Coming down the river from KC and trying to hit the GIWW. Hoping to avoid a long delay at the Inner Harbor Lock into Pontchartrain. Is it reasonable to go down to Ostrica and then into Breton and up the MR-GO to Hopedale Marina?

21 foot, twin motors. Chart and radar. Heading over to Mobile Bay.

Yes. You will cross black bay heading NE. The waterway is marey with rocks. There is a cut in the rocks to enter the channel. Depending on the size of your boat, you will need to follow someone around the dam to get to Hopedale marina.

What size vessel you have and where you heading too
