Came south from Destin to Tampa last month. Took 3 days, 2 nights, motoring all but about 3 hours. Was like being on a windless lake. We came from
New Orleans to
Pensacola offshore, so I don't really have much to say about getting to Mobile Bay. Bridges at Destin and between there and
Pensacola though are a tight 48 feet clearance. If you wanted to go straight across from
Sarasota, depending on
wind, should be between a long 3 days and 5.
