Making the jump 7/30/14 or 7/31/14 @ 6 knots. Anyone else going that way we could buddy with?
We've never done it before.... can you tell me what my options are? We were planning on crossing the gulf rather than following the coast line.
Ok, I was taking another inventory of my spares and can't located two impellers that I bought right before starting this trip.
This is a long shot but does anyone have an impeller for a 90 hp TMD30A Volvo? My gulf trip is going to hit the skids until I can find one.
I see you are going into Carabelle, so I assume Dog Island. Find the sea bouy and go in from there. Don't cut it short. The Carabelle River entrance is a little different as you run in through a fairly straight channel that runs behind a shoal. There is a left turn as you go into the river entrance. The currents in the river can be fairly strong.
After coming into the Dog Island entrance you can turn left and take the channel to Appalachicola. That is if not too tired.

The run from Tarpon to Steinhatchee makes for a very long day at 6 knots though (14 hours?). May be easier to just do an overnight.
Or if you want to run over to Appilachicola it is not that far and it is a quaint Florida town. If you do let me know and I will look up marinas in active captain.
