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. Frank I've been to Cedar Key by land...wow...that's shallow water around there... Boat I'm thinking about using is a swing keel with 23" board up draft. Perfect for gunkholing those areas. ...what would be fun would be to motor up the Suwannee to where the manatees play at the State Park with the warm springs.....lots of gators, though.... That's the idea. Not interested in the tourist stuff. Maybe drop the stick and go up both those rivers as far as one can...I'm more concerned about the bugs than the 'gators. |
