Its roughly 68 miles from Key West to Dry Tortugas over shallow

be a good Tolman trip


It's safer than a Gulf Stream crossing. * We did it last January and
got beat up a bit *on the return trip - 25 kts out of the north with 6
to 7 foot beam seas most of the way. * There is also a nice little
anchorage at Boca Grande Key east of the Marquesas. * In the summer
time you still have thunderstorm risk but you have the option of
seeking shelter *or beating a retreat. *The longest open water passage

If you were a nice guy, D'whine, you'd offer to "convoy" with O'Hara.
After all, you're both in Florida, and you certainly have nothing of
importance to do anymore. Right?


Here we have a perfect example of Harry being Harry. *Wayne's post was
informative to the OP's question, and had absolutely no reference to Harry.
Yet, Harry is compelled to respond with a snarky comment. * Why?
