That is a misconception held mostly by you it seems.

Cool, it looks like he's making good progress. Since the winds in the area
are light and variable he must be motoring just like Skippy always does.

It looks like he's coming my way. It will be interesting to see if he
takes the Yacht Channel and proceeds out into Hawk Channel and the Straits
of Florida via the Channel Five bridge or if he heads up the Intracoastal
Waterway to Miami before jumping off to the Bahamas. This time of year,
with thunderstorms popping up everywhere most every morning and afternoon
he'd probably be better off motoring up the Intracoastal and waiting in
Miami for some rare, steady winds for the crossing.

But, if he's like Skippy he'll wait until a flat calm day and motor across
with sails flapping for show.

Wayne gave up being a sailor years ago. Now he sits in his comfy seat at
the helm of a trawler type cruiser...... doesn't even get his hair mussed,
no mater what the conditions.



And you, dummy, are the proud owner of a rowboat with a 25 on the back.

You shouldn't call Don White a dummy.

I didn't know Sea Bird Marina had Wi-Fi. So, I was right, you do intend to
use the Channel Five bridge.

Sanibel? Ever read Randy Wayne White?
Have a good trip!


Doc Ford books. My wife has read them and was very enthused. One
of these days I'll do likewise but first we've got to get all of these
boat chores finished up. :-)

He also wrote a non-fiction "Batfishing in the Rain Forest" about traveling
and fishing.
For you other guys, RWW is a retired charter captain from Sanibel.
