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.

Sailing with the Big Dogs (power boats)
Sunday the wind was out of the SW and it was better than forecasted. I rigged a 7.0 on my 118L bic and headed out to the channel. Dino and Ron joined me and we raced up and down the west side of the channel. Occasionaly the wind and boats would sync and you could run right beside them. There were some lulls but not enough to dampen the fun and with the 7.0 I was well powered. Art, Andrea, David, Dorian, Tom, Tan Tom and a few other sailors were on the water as well.
