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.

Great sailing Sunday
The wind was out of the SSE and it was mostly cloudy. I arrived at the causeway at noon and there was a lot of sailors on the water. It sounded like the wind was trending upward and people were getting overpowered on their 6.0's, so I rigged a 5.0 on an F2 axxis 258. I pounded my way out to the House of Refuge and sailed for 2 1/2 hours. It seemed like the best water was just north of the spoil island. When you were heading west and crossing the channel the wind was really filled in and the water was real flat as you came into the shallows and it made for some real nice jibes. Dino and Austin headed out as I was coming in and Brandon showed up a short time later. I went out again briefly around 4 and the wind was even stronger.
