Are there any tricks to get out the inlet?

Narrow channel and fast current !!
Two hail Mary's and a bottle of Rum, you should be fine.
It really is not to bad..

If I may add a few points of local knowledge. Favor the north side of the inlet, especially at low tide (BTW, the tide change at the inlet is 2 1/2 hours after what the tide tables say for Sebastian), I have seen outboard boats hit bottom near the end of the south jetty. Stay just outside of casting range of the fisherman on the north jetty and you will have plenty of water.

Also, be aware of "Monster Hole", which is a few hundred yards out, on the south side of the inlet. Monster Hole breaks if there is any swell. It is best to cut north once you clear the north jetty as you head out of the inlet.

Let hope for calm weather, and the inlet will be tame. But if there is any kind of seas out of the east, please use caution, especially on the out going tide.

And don't forget, we can always play in the Indian River

We are looking forward to a great time!

Lloyd
