So you are thinking about four weeks from Clearwater to the Keys? What are your plans as far as the Bahamas?

Can you tell us a little bit more about your typical day to day?

Thanks!

Ok I dont know how to edit my post
I Will be leaving 4th week of January 2016 from Clearwater Fl, to go south
around the 26th of Jan.
With no set time limit of where to or when, it is a sail boat?
The weather will determine when and if we go on to the Bahamas

I'm a 60 year old sailor also. I have made the trip to the keys a few times but it has been a few years. I'm in Tampa and would like to stop by and talk to you about the trip if nothing else. Let me know how to get in touch with you by email if interested. You can contact me at markjackson393@ yahoo.com.

Ahoy Carambo46, As an 80 YO, I have made the trip a couple of times myself when sailing out of St Pete. How do you plan on going to Key West? Via the ICW to Ft Myers and out side from there, or outside to the Dry Tortugas to KW. Tempting trip. Both ways are good. Bad timing for Me, but can help with route planning. If you want any help with suggestions, I am up here in the Puget Sound and if any senior wants a change in scenery over the hot summer months, I hope to start sailing around 1 May. Have one cruise planned for last of July (Passport Req'd). I can be reached at edmerta@comcast.net. This goes for any spry senior that might be interested. Talk is cheap. Fair Wind and Calm Seas.

Sent you a private message. Do that route about twice a year. Will be cruising the Fl Gulf Coast from 17-27 Jan on our Leopard 46 and then returning home to Dunedin, otherwise would be interested in tagging along. Might be able to get my liberty card around mid-Feb for a week. Heading back out and to the Keys mid-March.

I used to live in SW FL, this is a great cruising route if you take your time (as it sounds like the OP plans to). I think there is an existing thread or two already about this route.

[carambo46]

Thanks
I will be getting back to everyone in the next few days. I am looking forward to meeting some new friends.
