The Treasure Coast spans the east coast of Florida roughly from Jupiter to Vero Beach. It derives it's name from a Spanish treasure fleet that was lost during a hurricane in 1715. Their are a lot of great windsurfing spots on the Treasure Coast but this blog focuses mainly on the Indian River from Stuart to Jensen Beach.

Saturday turned out to be a great day on the water. I rigged a 7.0 on my 118L board and went out to the House of refuge and sailed with Art for an hour or so. Andrea was sailing a little closer in. Wind came up some so I headed back and was considering rigging a 6.0. Dick suggested putting the 7.0 on my 88L, which seemed like a mismatch. It worked great! I had enough sail to get me through the hole and out to the wind line. Once powered up the smaller board gave me more control. Sailing on the north side of the island I saw Tom, Dorien, Darren, David, Charles and Ron. Some of our northern sailors are migrating back and I spoke with Henry and Jon.
