Be sure to let us know when you run Matanzas and Nassau Sound Inlets in
NE Florida in that high-transomed barge of yours. That'll tell us all
about the seaworthiness of floating RVs. You can head in to the ICW at
Nassau Sound and then out into the Atlantic again at Mantanzas.

Take photos after you change your brown-stained shorts.

Oh. I've run both inlets dozens of times. In very, very small boats.

Go for it.


Here's an aerial of Nassau Sound, looking north:

You want to enter so you head under the smaller bridge at the left of
the photo. Once you are under that bridge, you turn left and then right
and to your right, along the quarter mile of shoreline that leads right
to the ICW are some terrific oyster beds that hold lots of redfish and
flounder.


Harry,
You da man! There probably is no one in rec.boats with your skill and
expertise. NO one else whould have ever attempted to run those inlets
in your little 17' bay boat. You must feel very sad to have to contend
with now fishing in a bay with no inlets that allow you to take
advantage of your years of experience. I guess that is why you now
average less than an hour a week using your boat.
