Thanks for all the replies.
Given the various issues that have come up, I'm now planning to try to make the trip (from
Cape Coral to
Beaufort, NC) in 1 run, through the Okeechobee (we need to be tipped to make the railroad bridge) then
offshore in a straight line.
I'd like to do it in 7 days in mid-May.
Anyone else need to come north from
Florida in May and looking for a buddy
boat?
