Float plan is the same as last time. Boca Grande pass straight to Key West. We’ll make for Ft. Myers or Naples if we have trouble.

So far so good! Great weather. Caught a Spanish Mackerel but something else had taken a bite of him first. Threw him back. About to kill the engine and rely on sail the rest of the way. Loading up on Rockstar energy drinks. 3.5 miles offshore and we have 2 bars of cell service.

Went out last Monday via the Boca Grande pass. Just past the first red buoy the engine sucked an air bubble and died. We threw out two anchors. The wind and seas picked up as Steven worked on the engine. The bowsprit went under a few waves (the bowsprit sits about 7 feet above water) and we lost an anchor due to chafe. The engine came alive and Steven used all his strength to pull the anchor plus 100 feet of chain. We motored back in and anchored at Cabbage Key. We have been making repairs since and plan to try the pass again tomorrow. The float plan will be the same as before.
