Hi all -
First post for me. I'm now the proud owner of a 560 Sedan Bridge that I'm keeping in Delray Beach. This is my first big boat, and I'm fairly new to the area as far as boating is concerned. Looking at the charts, my nearest way out to the Atlantic is the Boca Inlet. All the guides I've read on this inlet however state that this is a tricky inlet and that "local knowledge" is required to use. I've asked a couple of people at the marina where I'm staying, and I'm getting mixed messages. Some say "sure", others say "avoid."
So - anyone from the area - what's the trick to using the Boca Inlet if at all? Would you take a 560 out it (I think my draft is 4 ft.). How does one acquire "local knowledge?"
Thanks!
