Carrabelle to Steinhatchee




This was a nasty day. We reviewed the weather as best we could and then checked with the locals! That was our big mistake. While Ron felt it would be a better crossing the following day, the fisherman (three of them) swore this to be a better crossing. It was 78 miles and 8 hours. Four of those eight hours brought us into 6-8 foot seas. The second picture was the result AFTER everything had been "secured." This was truly a nasty crossing. And by the time we neared Steinhatchee, the natural lay of the land blocked some of this nasty stuff, and the last four hours were like glass (well, the last three actually).
