Leaving Carrabelle!

It's a sunny day, and we are excited to report that we are leaving Carrabelle at 1:30 pm for the crossing of the Big Bend.  We found the perfect travel partners, Eddy and Linda Johnson.  They
have three great characteristics:
1.  They are experienced boaters:  They completed their loop last year and have done the crossing before.
2.  Eddy is the weather forecast person now for the AGLCA.  Every day he prepares a weather report telling loopers whether that day is a good one for crossing.
3.  They are Auburn grads.  War Eagle!

So we are having lunch soon and casting off.  We expect the trip to take 21 hours, so we'll be at Tarpon Springs on Tuesday morning.  I'll fill you in on the adventure tomorrow after a nap.
