Here are some of the thoughts we shared as we relaxed in the cockpit following our Gulf of Mexico crossing:
- OMG not many people have done what we have done. We crossed the Gulf of Mexico not once, but twice in the last seven months
- There were a crazy number of crabpots as we approached the Clearwater Pass. They were in the entryway, down the channel to the marina and everywhere. And they were close together. Made navigating a little tricky.
- Sunrise and moon set on the water at the same time is pretty impressive.
- Good ol' Yannie motored the whole way - 32.5 hours. Guess it deserves another oil change.
- Dolphins greeting us for at least 15-20 minutes. Brenda played peek-a-boo at the bow while Mike watched them jump behind the boat.
- Total relaxation within one hour of docking with Zac Brown playing Toes in the Water Life is Good Today on our blue tooth speaker.
- Probably the last time our boat will be north of Clearwater.
- Team work!!!
- Ahhhhhh!
- We didn't know whether to hope for a good weather window or not. It was hard to leave Carrabelle, but there are good times ahead.
- Barefoot in the shade in February and loving it.
- WE DID IT!!!
- Three boats left Carrabelle headed to Clearwater and we never saw each other on the water.
- Sunshine, warm, light breeze - this is paradise.
- A marina is really nice after a crossing!
- Zzzzzzzzzz
