I need to add this. If you're going to make it part of an offshore trip be sure your boat & life insurance are both current. The Sebastian Inlet is one of the most dangerous in the world. If you have a 16 ft boat Do Not try your luck. You just can't imagine in your worst dreams the water action that's possible in the inlet. Once you commit to it do not change your mind, you will sink. Life jackets ON, hand on throttle, eyes straight ahead while you're looking down at the bottom rocks while you're riding a 12 ft wave in a tornado. No exaggerating. The inlet is horrifying. But I've seen it smooth too. You never know.
