Lake Worth


Be mindful of the channel in "Lake Worth", a misnamed FLORIDA SWAMP that's
only a few inches deep. I dragged a 6' 6" keel over the sand IN THE
CHANNEL across that damned thing and will never do that again!

We did pretty good. We only ran aground harder than the engine could
overcome about 6 times and only one of those resulted in having to beg the
locals for a towrope.

Sailboats belong at SEA. Thanks!
