The Panhandle: Apalachicola to Pensacola . 443 Florida’s Panhandle, stretching from Carrabelle or Apalachicola on the eastern end to Pensacola and Perdido Bay on the west, is some- times called the Forgotten Coast. It can be reached in one of three ways: From the east, either directly across 130 to 170 miles of the Gulf of Mexico or skirting the Big Bend area just offshore; or from the west from Mobile Bay, from which many Midwestern cruisers come, down the river route.

The sophistication, glamour and luxury so prevalent on the east coast comes in more measured doses here. The pace is slower, the atmosphere more relaxed and the amenities somewhat more limited and spaced farther apart, but the cruising is superb. 10 SOUTHERN 2015 WATERWAY GUIDE Crossing the Gulf Stream • The Gulf Stream was arbitrarily figured at 001 degrees One of the problems the mariner encounters when crossing true, 2.5 knots for runs to Lake Worth Inlet and at 002 the Gulf Stream is how to allow for the set of the current. degrees true, 2.6 knots for all other runs.

  • South Florida Circumnavigation 2017
    Completing the Circumnavigation of South Florida By Chuck Purse South Florida is actually an island! The nine day voyage began early in January, 2017 when we completed the first leg from Hillsboro Inlet to Stuart, FL about 85 miles north of the Club. We waited for a good day so that we could make the run in open water rather than the using the time consuming Intracoastal Waterway. We stayed at Sunset Bay Marina in Stuart, one of the prettiest places on the East Coast. The sunsets are indeed beautiful and all the needed services are available at a reasonable cost. Stuart offers a broad array of dining choices and the adorable Old Colorado Inn. The next day took us up the St Lucie River toward Lake Okeechobee. The Okeechobee Waterway runs 155 miles from Stuart westward through Lake Okeechobee to Ft Myers and the Gulf of Mexico. This Waterway separates the southern portion of the State from the northern part of the Florida peninsula. The crossing includes beautiful countryside, incredible wildlife, and five locks to navigate as you make the 15’ climb up to Lake Okeechobee. The lake itself is impressively large with only the southern shore visible as you cross. Be careful to stay in the channel especially when the lake level is low to minimize the chance of bouncing off the bottom! That night we stayed at Roland Martin Marina in Clewiston, FL bordering the southwestern corner of the the lake. This historical sugar town is worth a one night visit. We arrived in time to play golf at Clewiston Golf Course which was a pleasant surprise.

    CRITICALLY ERODED BEACHES IN FLORIDA Updated, June 2009 BUREAU OF BEACHES AND COASTAL SYSTEMS DIVISION OF WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION STATE OF FLORIDA Foreword This report provides an inventory of Florida's erosion problem areas fronting on the Atlantic Ocean, Straits of Florida, Gulf of Mexico, and the roughly seventy coastal barrier tidal inlets. The erosion problem areas are classified as either critical or noncritical and county maps and tables are provided to depict the areas designated critically and noncritically eroded. This report is periodically updated to include additions and deletions. A county index is provided on page 13, which includes the date of the last revision. All information is provided for planning purposes only and the user is cautioned to obtain the most recent erosion areas listing available. This report is also available on the following web site: http://www.dep.state.fl.us/beaches/uublications/tech-rut.htm APPROVED BY Michael R. Barnett, P.E., Bureau Chief Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems June, 2009 Introduction In 1986, pursuant to Sections 161.101 and 161.161, Florida Statutes, the Department of Natural Resources, Division of Beaches and Shores (now the Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Beaches and Coastal Systems) was charged with the responsibility to identify those beaches of the state which are critically eroding and to develop and maintain a comprehensive long-term management plan for their restoration. In 1989, a first list of erosion areas was developed based upon an abbreviated definition of critical erosion. That list included 217.6 miles of critical erosion and another 114.8 miles of noncritical erosion statewide.
