Default How to cruise

I always thought the nasty chop in the Chesapeake bay was a whole lot
worse than anything you usually see in the Gulf. That is why you
regularly see 16' runabouts and 20' pontoon boats 8-10 miles offshore
around here.


We make the run from FMB to the Keys and back a couple of times a
year. Once you leave the FMB/Bonita/Naples area it is unusual to see
boats less than 25 ft or so until Florida Bay.
