Re: Sailing from Panacea,Fl to Dominican Republic

Re: Sailing from Panacea,Fl to Dominican Republic

Ok. We made it nonstop to Boot Key Harbor in Marathon, sail-motoring in at night, trying to find Moser Channel. We made it under the bridge, a terrifying rush! At 9:45 PM on the 6th, we anchored. On...
