I am so pleased at all the people checking out our blog, thank you! Steve and I have been here at St Andrews marina since Monday 26. Our next adventure is heading out into the gulf to Clearwater close to Tampa. This will be our first open water adventure no stopping no anchoring out just non stop to Tampa( remain in your harness at all times, no diving swimming or climbing mast until destination is reached). This is or first big crossing, from Panama City to Tampa, 36 hours nonstop. We are excited and looking forward to it. We have met shrimp boat captains, fish boat captains, cruisers capts, and sailors. Oh and barge captains. We have so much good information and these guys love to talk.
