Its roughly 68 miles from Key West to Dry Tortugas over shallow
water. About 20 miles out one can stop at the Marquesas. This might
be a good Tolman trip

It's safer than a Gulf Stream crossing. We did it last January and
got beat up a bit on the return trip - 25 kts out of the north with 6
to 7 foot beam seas most of the way. There is also a nice little
anchorage at Boca Grande Key east of the Marquesas. In the summer
time you still have thunderstorm risk but you have the option of
seeking shelter or beating a retreat. The longest open water passage
is about 30 nautical miles. You will be just about the smallest boat
out there, even the Cuban refugees use bigger.

If you were a nice guy, D'whine, you'd offer to "convoy" with O'Hara.
After all, you're both in Florida, and you certainly have nothing of
importance to do anymore. Right?

What would rec.boats do without WAFA?

He stands as the model of a Narcissistic Socialist Bigot. He makes you
thankful that you aren't one. That's important.

When you need to say WAFA, there is always a recent Harry post to reply
"WAFA" to. That's important, isn't it?

Perhaps he will respond and tell us why he thinks he is important, but I
doubt it.

Here we have a perfect example of Harry being Harry. Wayne's post was
informative to the OP's question, and had absolutely no reference to Harry.
Yet, Harry is compelled to respond with a snarky comment. Why?

Next time W'hine responds to a post of mine that has nothing to do with
him, ask W'hine that. Go ahead...make my day.

Virtually every ****ing contest going on in rec.boats is a series of
prompts/responses to some original comment, likely made years ago that
nobody can remember.

I used to scold my kids when they were 4 or 5 years old to stop doing this.
