Looks Like Lake Superior
Nothing on the Radar
And There it is, the Marker we Aimed For
I Promise This is the Last Dolphin Picture
Carrabelle, Florida to Clearwater, Florida - Started our crossing at 12 noon. It was foggy when we left. Danny took a heading for the Clearwater harbour marker 160 nautical miles and off we went. The other boats that were with us took a longer route and headed east and then south. Darkness came early, there was no moon and no stars just blackness. Due to the length of the trip and short daylight hours the secret is to get into Clearwater during daylight hours so you can dodge the crab pots. More dolphins were playing in the wake, they seem to be an everyday occurrence. Arrived in Clearwater around 8.00 a.m., with heavy fog which burned off by noon and it became sunny and warm. We even had to turn the air conditioning on. What a switch! Karen from the vessel Karen Anne caught our lines. We travelled with her and Roger on the river systems. It was nice to see an old friend. Roger is away until Thursday, so Karen came out with us for dinner.
