Sebastian April 21st-24th 2022 Gathering - Davis House

Thanks Casey, that’s a big help!

Ron, my year old Waterway Guide says the northern channel into those marinas is shoaled in and the southern channel is only about 5’; it says that shallow draft vessels (<5’) can use the anchorage near Capt. Hiram’s. We draw 4’9”, so maybe I could get in there at high tide, but not sure I’d be comfortable anchoring there overnight. Looks like tides are less than a foot in that area? Are they affected very much by wind direction?

My Navionics chart shows 6-7’ depths between the island and the ICW and 6-8’ just east of the channel north of a sandbar in that area, so I may try to anchor there first and do some exploring in the dingy! Denny

You would be better off driving up US1 to the get-together and do a sleep over by sharing a picnic table top with GoFast.

We have a pond and a pool.
The pond would be good for you.

For us old retired folks that enjoy cruising, it’s not about the length of the trip . . . Gettin there is at least half the fun! If you’ve never watched dolphins surfing your bow wave, which we see often in the Indian River, you’ve missed a real treat! https://dreamseeker.blog/page/3/ (There are 3 videos in this link if you scroll down towards the bottom.)

Just checked the mileage and Sebastian will be an easy 1 day trip from Stuart. Finding a good anchorage is just part of the adventure! And Dream Seekers memory foam bunks and AC are a LOT more comfortable than Sandy’s table!
