We are now anchored at St. Petersburg! After leaving Fort Myers early Monday morning, we headed out into the Gulf with beautiful weather. The winds even cooperated for a short while and we were able to fly the Jib for a couple hours. However, the afternoon wind forecast soon turned hard on our nose and forced us to travel inside.
We had a very good trip across both Sarasota Bay and Tampa Bay. We also passed some huge ships in Tampa Bay with no problems and were glad to have smooth seas for good maneuvering.
Bridges on the inside are numerous and prove to be very stressful with shallow water, tides, currents and timed openings. Tomorrow we hope to travel outside for the last of the run to Tarpon Springs. If weather cooperates, our jump may finally happen. Please pray for a good 72 hour stretch of fair winds!
