- 02/19/12 10:31 AM
BOCA RATON,FLA. BARGES ON THE INTRACOASTAL, I love days when the ocean is a little rough, since the barges come into the intracoastal waterway. The big yachts also come. Sometimes it is hard to decide what the cargo is. But it is usually something very unique. I love taking pictures of these barges, so the intracoastal, is not just for the luxury yachts or wave runners, it serves a purpose. BOCA RATON,FLA. BARGES ON THE INTRACOASTAL
