Held in Port by the Weather Again!

True to the forecaster's prediction today was a day to be in port... we were safely tied to the floating docks at Sea Hag Marina while the Gulf was blowing at up to 30 mph with seas of 9-12 feet.
Surprisingly we endured 2' waves with whitecaps coming up the river to where we were!! Look at the location link at the bottom to see how far up river they were coming including going round a bend in the river.
This picture does not do it justice but trust me it was unexpected.


The sunset was nice and maybe a sign that things will change tomorrow, right now we are planning to go all the way to Tarpon Springs in one day on Friday. That means we need to bump up the speed by 2 mph (20%) and start at first light, say 6:30/6:45 am.
