For openers, Carabelle, Florida, is not NORTH Florida. It is the Florida
Panhandle, and it is not an area known for sailboters. Outside of
Tallahassee, it is far better known as an area where women are
impregnated by their fathers and brothers.

But larger sailboats are not popular in the real North Florida, either,
the Atlantic Ocean part of North Florida from, say, Daytona to
Fernindina Beach.

Why? Because most of the inlets that lead from marinas to to the ocean
are very difficult passages for sailboats. They're windy, they have fast
currents, and near several of the inlets, there's little but sandbar
shoals.

Gawd, Floriduh sounds like a horrible place to go blow boating.
Fortunately, I know a place that is pure boaters heaven for such worthy
craft. So, what's the preferred draft for those turbid Floriduh waters,
15 inches?
