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.

Even though the water does not look rough in these pictures, it was to rough to do any clamming at the secret clamming grounds, so they just enjoyed the boat ride.

Many little islands dot this area of the ICW. Some people boat to an island, set up a tent, and camp overnight. Is this Heaven or what!

Sometimes it gets cold at night in South Florida. We started a fire as it cooled off to 80 degrees.
