Right now it is in Tarpon Springs, and will be there until the wandeing starts in June. My wife retires in May, I saw no purpose in burning fuel back to Texas then going back to Fl in the summer. As it stands now I hope for us to go throught the Keys in early summer, go up the coast looking for cool then do the islands in the fall, winter of next year and avoid all Hurricanes. After that it is Corpus area. Might bivoac in Seabrook for awhile but we will end up in Corpus. Longer drive from Fort Worth but no Houston to fight.

Fishing sounds good...

I did something similar when I chartered a Nordic Tug 32 in Alaska two years ago: started out full throttle (or nearly so) burning nearly a gallon a mile at 14 knots. As the days went by, we went slower and slower. Eventually, we were cruising at about 8 knots, nearly 2 nmpg.

At that speed, its so much more peaceful, and its a good speed to watch the world go by.

I think that is why people tend to get slower and slower boats as they cruise longer and longer.
