First day underway

Seminole and Calypso got underway from Southport this morning with Jim and Jackie Seminole leading by about an hour because they wanted to top off fuel tanks at Pier 98. We caught up with them there. We arrived at the White City County Park at 5:30 PM EDT. We found 20-Amp 120-Volt power, enough to run refrigerators and a couple of lights for the night. We charcoal grilled some burgers on a park grill, drank some wine, talked some and then went to our boats for the night.
Tomorrow we will have a leisurely morning and get underway for our anchorage at Dog Island, about 41 nautical miles away. We will pass through Lake Wimico and Apalachicola getting there.

The plan, assuming the forecasted calm waters prevail in the Gulf, we will depart at 5:30 AM on Saturday for the 110-mile run across the Gulf for and overnight anchorage off Cedar Key. Sunday may see us arriving at Caladesi Island State Park.

And fini for the Miss Patricia
