Re: Long Point info
I grew up in Palm Beach, as well. Grandparents lived on Brazilian in Palm Beach, I grew up in Lake Worth and Palm Beach Gardens. I was the Dockmaster at Waterway Marina at PGA blvd and the ICW back in '83-'84, when Frank Brown was right across the street.
I learned to waterski in sight of that lighthouse. I've run in Jupiter Inlet in a 25' Robalo when it was 9-15' offshore and breaking 20' in the inlet 'cause we didn't have the fuel to ride the Nor'easter out, and knew an anchor wouldn't hold. I've also run out the mouth of the inlet when it was as smooth as a sheet of glass at over 70 mph in a 30' Velocity. I knew Jupiter well. I hav'nt been through it in 16 years.
I hope to see y'all at Long Point, though I can't stay the night.
