Sailing the Indian River Lagoon Near Sebastian Inlet

This past weekend I went sailing with members of the West Coast Trailer Sailing Squadron and Johnathan from Honest Johns Fish Camp. It was a 3 day trip with several other Sea Pearls. The original intent was to sail from Ft. Pierce to Honest Johns 5 miles past Sebastian Inlet but the winds were out of the ENE and several in the group did not want to do an upwind beat. That was fine so we elected to start and finish at Honest Johns.

We all decided that the best place to camp was on spoil island IR1. It had a great view east and west. To the east was the inlet bridge and sunrise. To the west was the mainland and of course sunsets. Just to the south was Capt Hirams. A great bar on the water where you can anchor right on the beach.

Here are some pictures

Several of the boats headed for our camp site.

Sea Pearl 21 Tri, very cool boat. If this one was available when I was in the market then I may have been sailing a multi-hull.

Johnathan and Petra sailing across my stern. Great photo op.

This one turned out pretty cool.
