Colby, I’ve enjoyed your trip reports! In 2019 we had major EOH issues including needing new brakes and actuator pump. Locals in the Keys rec’d South Seas Rigging. The owner was very dismissive of the concept that a 9Ah battery could properly run the system. He replaced it with a ‘lawn...

Crossing the Gulf day 2, Steinhatchee to Carrabelle,100 miles. The weather forecast was for 5 MPH winds from the north. We planned to cross from Steinhatchee to Carrabelle going directly west across the Gulf, a distance of about 70 miles. However, when we moved out into the slop, we found...

Clearwater Beach to Steinhatchee River, FL…142 miles across the Gulf of Mexico Our good luck continued with good weather and calm seas. We planned to stop at Crystal River, but Three Rivers Marine had no transient slips and Pete’s Pier no longer takes transients. We chose pressing on to...
