Here is a summary of our crossing of the Gulf of Mexico.
Monday: 20 miles - From Carrabelle to Alligator Harbor (our worst start since our anchors: very eventful overnight)
Tuesday: 65 000 - Steinhatchee (we appreciated the marina) A lot of side wind all day .
Wednesday: 85 miles - Florida Barge Canal (very nice place to anchor) We had, for a second consecutive day, the waves aside. Luke had his full "helmet" and was even forced to change the filter for diesel. We stopped the engine and we walked from left to right throughout the operation which took about 1 hour. At least we slept very well.
Thursday: 75 000 - Clearwater (marina). It's so different when the wind and waves are on the right side. It was a very good day.
Friday: 36 000 - Arriving in St. Petersburg (harborage Marina). We said goodbye to TADPOLE, which then went to Tampa, his final destination.
Luke's parents joined us at the marina. It was very nice to be four after 5 ½ months.
In the coming days, we will find a place to escape BLUE MAX water until our return to Val-d'Or scheduled Jan. 8. We will also visit several marinas in the surrounding area to determine where we spend the months from January to April.
We'll fly to Val-d'Or, Saturday, November 20 to spend the holidays.
You can read more of our adventure in mid-January.
forward to seeing you in Val-d'Or ... ...
