We were planning to depart on our 26 hour Gulf crossing today, but decided to wait one more night. As we shall be cruising in the dark for around 14 hours, a full moon, and lighter winds are available. This part of the trip is a right of passage, where you separate the cruisers from the boaters. Some owners hire Captains, or crew to help them on this portion of the trip. Whatever makes you feel safe!
I wont be posting for a few days as we head on south.
