    Does anyone know what type of restrictions, if any, are placed on ICW use before and during the Palm Beach Boat Parade on December 7th? Or, where I can find them on line. I didn't see anything on the Parade website.

    The only thing I've seen is the bridge openings. There are actually five bridges involved and they have scheduled openings with each being open 45 minutes to an hour. So bridge openings look like the only real challenge. Other than that the Parade boats should be given right of way. Were you anticipating something like the parade route being closed to other boats?

    If you're looking to view the parade they do have a suggestion:

    We hope that if you have a boat you’ll be part of the parade, but if for some reason you are not and still want to view the parade by boat, we suggest viewing from North Palm Beach Country Club, Ski Beach, or anywhere else between Donald Ross Rd. and Indiantown Rd. where you won’t be in the way of the parade
