Today is the day I have been dreading for some time. The overnight Gulf crossing. We've been waiting out the weather here in Apalachicola and according to all sources, today is the day to go.
Dave has been busy getting the boat as ready as one can but he said the most important detail was to prepare me:

Smart ass!
There are at least a dozen of us making the crossing which gives me that comforting false sense of security that I need! Our new Kiwi (New Zealanders) friends, Monica and Warren, are making the crossing with us. We have enjoyed getting to know them the last few days.
We will shove off around noon so we can arrive in Tarpon Springs around 10:00 a.m at high tide. It will also let us pick our way thru the hundreds of crab pots that will start to appear about 25-30 miles offshore with the sun in our eyes. You don't want to tangle up in a crab pot and get your props all bungled up.
We filed our float plan with John and Karen and they will notify the Coast Guard, Navy, Homeland Security and the Pentagon if they don't hear from us tomorrow morning!
Talk to you all then.
I didn't realize you were into bondage......
