Fall Rendezvous News

Hello from the Fall Rendezvous!  Today we went to two seminars about crossing the Gulf.  There are two ways to do this:
1.  Cross from Carrabelle, FL, to Tarpon Springs (170 miles).  This requires an overnight passage in the gulf.
2.  Go in and out of different anchorages along the gulf shore:  Carrabelle to Steinhatchee to Cedar Key to Tarpon Springs.  (This is more miles, but you do it in 3 days.)

There are issues/problems with each plan.  #1 means someone is driving the boat for 18 hours at least.  #2  means going in and out of shallow anchorages, avoiding crab pots, and needing more good weather days.  We have lots to consider.

We are meeting lots of people who are doing the loop, have already completed it, or are planning their trip.  Today we toured some gorgeous boats.  You can see Aunt Aggie in the center below.  She is feeling a bit out of her league.
