How AICW and OWW Boaters will be Affected by FEC RR Bridge Work
The increasing number of bridge closings due to increased rail traffic has been a concern for some time. See All Aboard Florida Protest by Jim Healy. The St Lucie FEC RR bridge with 6 ft vertical clearance crosses the Okeechobee Waterway and connects Britt Point with Stuart. See Concerned. The Loxahatchee RR bascule bridge crosses the AICW at MM 1005. See Replacement.

A Souvenir of Florida’s Nearly Forgotten Past by Ginger L. Pedersen
In Rochester, New York, a little wooden box lay forgotten on an estate table sale; a knickknack bought by a Florida tourist more than a century ago.

Slow down. In our region, the Intracoastal isn’t a watery highway, Palm Beach, FL
It makes sense, as residents have advocated for months — more than 3,000 signed a petition — to adopt strict speed limits and keep power boats from generating oversized waves big enough to swamp smaller boats, knock paddlers off boards and endanger visitors looking to enjoy a serene weekend on the water.

Good Words for Oasis Boatyard and Marina, near AICW MM 780, St. Augustine, FL
This boatyard and marina is on the northeast shore of the Sebastian River opposite Green 17. Our thanks to Anthony and Michele for this excellent review.
John and Jodie Spears who own this marina have done a great job. They have 44 floating docks which makes it easy to get on/off your boat. Great restrooms and great showers. They have a large lift and room to place your boat on the hard. They keep everything clean and organized. You can work and stay on your boat. They charge 2.00 a ft per night. If you stay more than 15 days then they charge you by the month. Close to downtown and plenty of great restaurants in this area. We are having some work done on our generator and we are enjoying being here. We decided to stay a month.
