Reitin yleiskatsaus:
Leaving Loggerhead Marina - Riviera Beach, begin your journey by heading south through the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW). This passage offers sheltered waters and scenic views of Florida’s coastline, perfect for those seeking a blend of safety and enjoyment.
1. West Palm Beach to Lake Worth Inlet:
As you start, you’ll encounter the beautiful urban backdrop of West Palm Beach. Pay attention to the marked channels and keep a lookout for commercial traffic, especially around the Port of Palm Beach and Lake Worth Inlet. Navigation aids like buoys and markers are critical here due to the traffic and the occasional strong currents.
2. Passing Peanut Island:
Just south of the Lake Worth Inlet, Peanut Island is a notable stop for its park and snorkeling opportunities. This area can be busy, especially on weekends, so be vigilant of swimmers and recreational boaters.
3. Boynton Beach to Delray Beach:
Continuing south, you’ll cruise past many smaller bays and marinas. These spots, such as the Boynton Harbor Marina, offer good sheltering options and amenities should the need arise. The waters here are generally calm, but always be on the lookout for manatees, especially in designated manatee zones.
4. Boca Raton:
As you approach Boca Raton, the ICW becomes narrower, and careful navigation is necessary. The Boca Raton Inlet is a key landmark but can be challenging due to shifting sands and currents. Unless familiar with the inlet, recreational boaters are advised to continue down the ICW.
5. Fort Lauderdale:
Navigating through Fort Lauderdale—known as the "Venice of America"—provides an urban spectacle with its lavish waterfront homes and yachts. Keep an eye on the traffic, adhere to speed restrictions, and be mindful of bridges, some of which require an opening for passage.
6. Miami to Key Biscayne:
Approaching Miami, the skyline presents a dramatic backdrop. The route becomes densely populated with boating activity, both recreational and commercial. Navigation aids are plentiful, but so are challenges due to the high traffic volume. Upon reaching Key Biscayne, explore the serene waters of Biscayne Bay or visit the iconic Cape Florida Lighthouse.
