Re: Jupiter Inlet (FL) local knowledge.

Re: Jupiter Inlet (FL) local knowledge.

Quick update, since I started this thread. Three weeks ago we moved our boat from Hollywood to Soverel Harbour Marina. Since we could not get under the Blue Heron bridge, we went north towards the...

Re: Jupiter Inlet (FL) local knowledge.

I called and spoke with TowBoatUS, and they think it's possible, but tricky. Would have to be at high tide on a flat calm day, and they offered (since I have a membership with them), to do some...

Re: Jupiter Inlet (FL) local knowledge.

I have the tall rig/deep keel version of the C470. Nice for going to weather offshore, not so nice for navigating the ICW. The main numbers on sailboatdata.com are for the short rig/wing keel...
