I am a small power
boater. I would appreciate any input about the boating/cruising in the Palm
Coast area.

Palm Coast is primarily a golfing place south of St. Augustine and
Matanzas Inlet and north of Ormond Beach on the ICW. We've been there
to the marina once.

Last time we went through there, they were apparently building a huge
condo/dock complex between the ICW and A1A. Most of the boaters there
have power boats smaller than 50 feet IIRC

You have three choices for boating -
Go up and down the ICW
Go to and go up the St. Johns River
Go out into the Atlantic. The evil Matanzas Inlet is closed to
navigation I wouldn't do St. Augustine on a bet (it makes me nervous
to exit or enter through a line of surf), although I know people that
do. So that leaves Ponce Inlet to the south (and there's a reason
they have that big lighthouse there), and the St. John's River to the
north.

http://www12.virtualtourist.com/m/4a9c6/ba8be/ has the narrative of
the time we stayed there and
http://www12.virtualtourist.com/m/4a9c6/ba8be/d/ has a picture of the
marina.
