It was 3.5 hours to reach Carrabelle. The weather was overcast and winds were about 10-15 knots waves at times were 3 feet high. The Moorings marina at Carrabelle is one of the best yet. There is an IGA and hardware store right across the street. The state has a big police boat here that was called into a rescue last night. People on a 35 foot sailboat were so beaten up by the waves they abandoned their boat when the rescue boat arrived. Now the coast guard is out looking for their sailboat. The Swinea’s (our crew for the crossing) arrive tonight at 6:00PM. We will leave tomorrow around 4:00PM and get to Tarpon Springs after an overnight cruise at about 10:00AM.
About Bob Duthie
Hey, Guys! Don’t forget to eat at Mikonos in Tarpon Springs. It’s Marshall’s favorite. And if you want a wonderful horiatiki salad, go to Paul’s. They have good shrimp, too. Remember: a well-fed crew is a happy crew!
So glad your trip is going well. Mavis, I’m reading the Wife Tree now. Good writing but a little depressing – ha! I had my second chemo treatment Monday and so far so good. It is a nice escape from the reality of being tied to St. Thomas to cruise along with you guys. Have fun!
