Cardude, after a send-off yesterday by local TF members, launched himself into the unknown this morning with his spiffy new Island Packet 41 PY Cruiser! Armed with nothing but a can of tuna, a leaking shaft packing and a CQR on the pulpit, he's already made it through unpredictable Lake Worth where winds and fetch can push the chop to a foot or more, So far so good, he texts, but soon he will throw the boat into the graveyard sands of West Palm Beach, where many an ICW mariner has met his match. With no dinghy or life raft, he would do well to avoid being thrown into the frigid 78 degree waters, where even the most durable swimmer could only last several days (provided he didn't wade to shore)! Already, he's taken green water over the bow (a bucket of washdown spilled over the pulpit).
Another Dauntless candidate? He still has to cross the infamous Jupiter and Stuart inlets!
Cardude's eventual destination is Indiantown to store the boat on the hard for several months.
