The Moorings

Carrabelle, Florida



Buddy at the computer



Tomorrow is the day we will cross the Gulf to Clearwater! A large group of boaters met with “Buddy” the weather predictor this morning! He said there was a window starting tomorrow and our plan is to depart Carrabelle at 12:30 pm then enter the Gulf at Dog Island. From there we will steer east to buoy #26 then turn southeast to Clearwater. At present six boats will cross together or at least depart together. The window isn’t perfect but good enough to safely make the 20 hour passage. If we get there before the sun is at the correct height we will drop our hook and wait for the correct time before entering the bay.



Cocktails on Double Trouble x 4

Tonight one of the last Looper boats to enter port held a looper get together on their boat “Double Trouble X 4” a beautiful 46 ft. Carver. Every one got a chance to meet and know who was making the crossing plus enjoying each others company.

Tomorrow is a big day and the adrenalin is flowing! There will be a long list of things to do before casting off, so will close for now!
