Hey all, been sick and had to replace an injector pump in Brunswick Ga. so time has won. We are now in Fort Meyers trying to plan the crossing and was hoping someone was close doing the same thing. We made it through the Okeechobee from St Lucie To Franklins lock in 14 hrs with an average of 9.9 knts. Not bad for a 1974 Defever. We haven't had a chance to keep everyone updated due to me being alone, but my son has came aboard and we are heading home as fast as this old girl can get us there. I would feel much better making the big bend crossing with another boat. The weather has been so good its scary. last week in daytona till now it has been ideal crusing nothing over 15 knts of wind. Night before last we were in the Okeechobee when a thunder cell hit us for 2 hrs that spawned 3 tornadoes.
We are gonna hop up the coast till jump time for big bend. if anyone is between Fort Meyers and Tampa and we can meet up we will have a big pot of shrimp and crab gumbo that would put this flordia stuff to shame.
So anybody that reads this and is in the area holler back.
