If it EVER cools off, I am ready to go south again from N. FL. (Shell
Point, just south of Tallahassee). Will probably go straight across to
Sarasota, about 160 miles, will probably take 36-42 hours. From
Sarasota, to Ft. Myers, across the ditch to Lake Worth and then across
to the Bahamas. I find sailing by myself very relaxing but I may take
a crew member for this 1st long leg so my wife wont worry too much.

====================

The inlets at Sarasota are not in great shape. You may want to go in
at Tampa and run south on the ICW from there. The north end of Long
Boat Key is a great stop in any case.
