I have been waiting for a 3 day weather window to sail from here to
Clearwater. It is a 28 hour sail but to be safe I figure I need 3
days. Aint gonna happen. So, I am now looking for a two day window
to sail 86 miles to Cedar Key followed by another window to make the
12 hour sail to Tarpon Springs and then a 6 hour sail to Clearwater.


All I wanted today was a temp in the mid- to high-30's and little
wind. I got an inch of snow, mid-twenties, and 15mph winds. Not good
for golfing. But I'm as crappy a golfer as I am a fisherman, so, it doesn't
really matter. Is it time for my annual charity beg-a-thon?


Thanks, Harry. I'd forgotten all about the Race for the Cure.

It will be on May 8, in Richmond. My daughter hasn't established her
team site yet, but I'll let you know when she does.

We both greatly appreciated your support last year. Thanks again.
