New speed zones proposed in Palm Beach

This would be great because it's such a long, slow ride to Stuart. I believe that's all part of a federal wildlife park and protected, so I doubt it would happen.

Capt J - I'm pretty sure the area they are referencing is only about 600-700ft wide. It's wider further north, which is part of the problem because everyone from the marinas and sandbars to the north gets funneled into a narrower area before the bridge. I'm sure it's nowhere near as bad as parts of Miami/Lauderdale on a weekend, but it's not hard to imagine something bad happening in that small stretch. During the week it's not an issue.

Back in the early 90's they had hydroplane races in front of Bahia Mar. 160 mph heading for a hairpin turn at each end. Spectator boats maybe 100' past that. Seriously exciting. Nuts but exciting.
