Sailing(?) the ICW

(Click on pictures to enlarge)

So, you're a little concerned about height on the ICW?? This boat came in last night at Vero Beach. It has an 80' mast and 7'10" draft. Each water bag weighs 2000#. It's been coming down the ICW. What a treat to watch the crew execute this maneuver. However, I can't imagine anyone with a boat that size, wanting to travel the ICW. They should be "outside" enjoying the ocean.

About Stuart Sailfish Club

The STUART SAILFISH CLUB was formed more than 75 years ago and incorporated in January of 1941. It is one of the oldest sportfishing clubs in the United States, formed for the purpose of promoting the conservation of game fish and encouraging visitors to fish in Martin County waters. To this day, these remain our primary goals. We attract visitors by sponsoring offshore fishing tournaments and then donate a large part of the proceeds to worthy conservation programs and local conservation organizations.
