Sebastian Clamming


The Pompano Beach Sail & Power Squadron invaded the Sebastian Inlet Sail and Power Squadron territory in Sebastian, Florida and took over the entire Sportsman's Lodge and Marina. This is approximately 120 miles north of our squadron base. This is an event were we do not bring our own boats, due to the shallow water at the dock. We only bring our appetites.
