We are not new to sailing but have never made a long
passage or sailed at night. We have a 1972
Cheoy Lee Offshore 33
ketch, berthed in
Hudson,
Florida. We are both still working full time. We want to take off for a week-10 days and sail up the Nature Coast to the Withlacoochee River or Cedar Key. Have been up the Homossassa where we went aground and our
engine failed. Don't wish to go there again! Some time in the future we want to go to
Yucatan, and visit the islands there. Would like to hear from other sailors who have sailed these routes. Regards, elsie&david
