My preference is gunkholing in the Keys. You're welcome to tag along,
but a lot of it requires 18"' draft and beaching. We could race down
from Port Charlotte. I'll have plenty of gas, most of it used in the
Coleman stove. Have a good trip!

Well, that's what our dinghy is for - different boats for different
trips. We'll have to go through the Keys on our way north since the
Ortona Lock is scheduled to be closed on the Okeechobee Waterway.
