Hey Capt Mike. Long time no hear from you. I have crossed it about every way it can be done. I enjoy the boon docks around Steinhatchee and Cedar Key. Love Crystal River. While there is some touchy water around the area, it is a kicked back, old Florida kind of place. Making the crossing for a new cruiser can be a confidence builder. You have to learn to depend on your instruments and your boat.

You're right especially in the snowbird season, there is usually a group at Carabelle or Applachicola staging a crossing. There should be company out there.
