Happy to be across the Gulf! We took 3 long days to cross in the open water with stops in Steinhatchee, Cedar Key and finally Tarpon Springs. We travelled with our seasoned Loop friend Rob Rosemont from Seattle which gave us a buddy to consult with and lots of fun on and off the water. Had a great evening with Anne Murray and Mike Anable, old friends from MSU that we haven't seen in 26 years!

We will stay here in the Tampa area for the week and look forward to our son, Karl joining us starting tomorrow.
