A Gulf crossing window

It appears that there will be a period of relative calm in the eastern Gulf of Mexico on 15-16 March.  Jim and Jackie in their Grand Banks 42 Seminole will be here on Sunday 10 March for a couple of days of final provisioning before both boats depart Panama City on Wednesday 13 March for Dog Island.  We plan a short first day to White City where we will spend the night at the free floating pier there.  Thursday night should see us anchored off Dog Island ready for a very early departure on the 110-mile run on Friday to possible anchorage off Cedar Key.  Then on Saturday, we'll be looking at a 70-mile run to the beginning of the intracoastal waterway at Anclote Key.  Anyway, that's our plan for now.
