    Fort Pierce, FL Island Camping

    Yeah ND isn’t exactly well known as a sailing destination. I got started on a Sunfish in the Boy Scouts; something like that might scratch your itch. It’s easy to store when not in use and an absolute riot to sail. Eventually I’d love to have a bigger blue-water type boat but storage becomes...

    Fort Pierce, FL Island Camping

    Our last morning was mostly spent lounging in the hammock and packing up. The wind was back to normal, if not a little weak, so sailing felt less like trying to meet Jesus. I had to jury rig the piece that attaches the boom to the mast. The casting broke the day before, even with the sail...

    Fort Pierce, FL Island Camping

    From what we could tell, there were two camp areas on the island. We chose one at the SW corner and set up our camp: The view from our hammocks wasn't bad: The same at night: A cold front moved through overnight the first night we stayed. The cool, dry North wind made for excellent...
