Well we headed out of Panama City into the Gulf on the 17th. Beautiful with 3 mile per hour wind, so we motored all day. Around 7 pm wind picked up between 14- 24 mph, waves kicked up to 6 to 8. It only got worse through the night. The next day, the same thing. We all got beat up pretty good. 45 hours later we arrive at Tampa Bay, 5:45 in the am. Threw the anchor, slept a couple hours and did laundry in the bucket, ate burgers and passed out for 13 hours. The dogs look alot more rested and relaxed.

Lots of wind coming the next few days, going to stay in the intercoastal down to Fort Myers. Any advise on the waterway as we are 63'6" tall & 35' wide?
