Note: I updated Wednesday's Blog to talk about our decision to scrub the direct crossing for Wednesday night and pursue Plan B! Please read.
Tonight we remain at the Sea Hag Marina in Steinhatchee.
Temps were near freezing this morning. It is still only in the low 50's here as a high. Brrr! This is not the Florida that we know. No, really. It is a different place in the winter, especially around the water. Empty, cold, different light patterns, different smells and water colors, few boats, no one on the water, and the birds seem to own the place, especially the Pelicans.
Not much going on today. We are resting up from our sprint across the Gulf and making plans for tomorrow's trip to Crystal River, FL, which will be about a 100 mile run. Plans are to leave at 5:00 in the morning, get into the Gulf and do the Crap Pot Shuffle using our search lights until we can see at about 7:15 AM. We will then make haste down the coast to below Cedar Key, and work our way East into Crystal River, probably dodging more crab pots along the way and down there. Weather looks good until noon, then winds and seas will pick up from the West. We have reservations at Pete's Pier in Crystal River for tomorrow night.
Dinner tonight was with Sun Gypsy and Free at last at Fiddler's here in Steinhatchee. It was recommended by a local.
Thanks for Reading!
