Where do you launch on the east coast? Any trailer parking issues?

Haulover. I've only been there once, and there was plenty of
parking...but it wasn't during season.

We're leaving the house at 4:30am, so we clear the pass by sunrise. We
might put the trip on hold 'til Saturday due to predicted 15-20knot winds
out of the East on Friday and early Saturday.



We stay on the other side of the bridge from Haulover.

Then as you know, Haulover can be a messy inlet on a new moon outgoing tide
with a strong onshore wind...which is exactly what is predicted for
tomorrow. Winds are out of the east at 15-20 knots, and seas are 7 to 9 feet
on top of a 3 foot swell. Perfect sailfish conditions...but not when you're
going out in an 18' Boston Whaler...so our plans have changed.

Instead, we're running in the Grady to the one of the DoD towers southwest
of Marco on this coast. Seas are predicted to be 2-4 late
Saturday...decreasing to 2' or less by Sunday.
