You can find directions at: http://tinyurl.com/yvwqv3
and launch photos, etc. at: http://fksa.org/showthread.php?t=1981 Take I-95 N Exit east on SR-595 Go north on US Hwy. 1 Go east on SE 17 St. Head east a few miles beneath two pedestrian overwalks and just past the second one east of Bahia Mar (a very large Marina) you'll see some Hobie Cats stored on the beach. Tiki Beach is beside the wood deck leading to the Hobie Cat launch due east of the Oasis Cafe. I am out of touch with things at Crandon these days. I believe weekend access ended last year and in years past on Memorial Day, May 30, 2007. So, unless something else has kicked in we should be OK tomorrow. Can anyone confirm this? The forecast looks pretty good, SUNDAY NORTHEAST WINDS 15 TO 20 KNOTS. NEAR SHORE...SEAS 3 TO 5 FEET SUBSIDING TO 2 TO 4 FEET IN THE AFTERNOON IN THE GULF STREAM...SEAS 4 TO 6 FEET. INTRACOASTAL WATERS CHOPPY IN EXPOSED AREAS. CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND SLIGHT CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS. It is gusting to 23 kts. already!

I'll try to remember to pick up some disposable UW cameras to bring along. Then again, you'll be there well before me so repeating Kent's question, can anyone shoot at Crandon?
