Greetings from the "rough" on the 9th fairway at Gasparilla Golf Course, Gasparilla Island. We're anchored offshore about a good 7 iron shot away. We made 47 nautical miles today with a SW wind on the beam. Unfortunately NOAA Weather Radio is predicting North winds tomorrow which would be "on our nose" - rough and questionable to sail our chosen course. So we'll be motoring the infamous "Ditch": the Inner Coastal Waterway (ICW) to Venice and on Saturday, Tampa Bay and a berth at Rivertown Marina on the Manatee River, just down from where we began this adventure. It'll be great to be back on land again! We'll have to unload the boat and get her cleaned up and then head up Hwy 75 toward home. At least that's the plan - which is always subject to change on the high seas. Stay tuned!
