Did the Gulf crossing 120 nm. Left Carrabelle at noon on Tuesday arrived in Tarpon Springs Thursday at midnight, two full days at sea averaged 50 nm a day. Needed to keep a pretty slow pace to insure I had more energy coming in then going out. Because there is no place to stop in the middle of the Gulf! Do to the slow speed arrived with my batteries still full, which is a bit odd for me. Longest single trip so far. Sea state was choppy with heavy fog for half the trip, and the other half was flat calm.
Total Trip so far 1181 nm
