Since I live in Titusville, most of my boating is done on the nothern end of the Indian River Lagoon. My favorite island is the first one north of the NASA Causeway and on the east side of the ICW. This island has a nice sand beach with a sand bar that juts out for a couple of hundred feet and it is seldom crowded and therefore seldom littered up. Another bonus is that just to the east of this island is a huge flat two to three feet deep that drops off on its north side to the 14 foot deep area they dredged up the fill from to build the NASA Causeway - great fishing here for trout, ladyfish and reds.

Bryan and I usually go to the islands just south of the 520 bridge. We put in at Cocoa Village and used to go to the third island but now like the second island. Not as big but bugs aren't as bad. We also like the island right at the mouth of the barge canal just north of 528. Cool little island but shallow.

We haven't heard anything. Please keep an eye out, but the chances of getting the boat back don't look good. I hear that there have been a lot of problems at Lee Wenner with theft, so everyone be careful if you put in or dock there.
Plastic tank. Fiberglass would deteriorate and I believe that aluminum oxidizes. Not iron oxide rust but oxidation nonetheless. Boats made after 1994 are supposed to have ethanol compatible gas tanks. Do you agree? Do you replace the water separatio…

I am still looking on the weekends.

Henry,
Saw your boat heading in at the port Wednesday. We had been out to 8A and points north of there, not a lot of luck, Cuda and sharks. Was looking to see how you did Wednesday for comparison, I hope your report doesnt depress me too much.
