snipped all that stuff

I had nine on my Columbia 8.7, four adults and five kids ranging in
age from 5-12 years old for one trip, with me the only individual on
the boat that knew how to sail. Coming back from Ship Island about
five miles to go encountered one of those August afternoon upper gulf
black squalls. What a nightmare. The extra crew was my Sister's
family. To this day, she has never stepped foot on another boat.

Hey have you ever crossed the big bend area down to Suwannee,
Steinhatchee, and on to Cedar Key. If so, what's it like. Thinking
about doing some Gunkholing in that area, maybe this fall.
