Turkey day cruising!!!!!
Anyone else going to the Cabbage key/Pelican bay area for Turkey day weekend? We shall leave Naples Tuesday night or Wed morning depending on the winds.

We used to have ten or more boats every year for this awesome trip. But now everyone else has sold out or moved on to drier pastures. Dang, might have to join a local sailing club or something .LOL

we had a feeling we should go --thur morning---we made the scalded dog run from ingrams bayou to slidell in 2 days with anchoring at petit bois island overnite....rather than do the rigolets in evening and under bridge at nite--we opted to go through rigolets then under bridge at night....we opted to anchor at the mansion at the entrance to rigolets marina .....our friend works there..LOL --in rigolets marina ....in morning we went to where the boat will and does sit for nov and dec......in slidell......lol.....was a gas--we got 3500 miles under keel now---so does bubba daboatkat LOL...well sailed kat and us.....we got back just half day or so before ida decided to go just east of us....gooood place and timing...

just a quick note to all. I am home in west central fla. Got my dtr unloaded and into her new home. I am headed down the west coast to apt hunt. I am a dirt dweller for the next few months while I go back to school. Hope everyone has a wonderful Veteran's Day. Thank you to all you who have served and kept me and the wind I sail in free!!!

Contrary to popular believe Florida gets cold. We always have our first cold snap around Halloween. It will warm up, the humidity will be gone, and we will enjoy a nice warm fall. North central fla is not that much further south than san diego...

i havent found any weather in the gulf--including active electrical storms with 60 kts winds, or the weather of an approaching front that would be a problem for a decent cruising boat----is a change from the 30kt winds and 30 ft seas of the pacific----and a rather enjoyable goood time...candida handled the seas well and we enjoyed every aspect of our adventure.........
