Whew! After a long journey we are on the hook up here behind Gasparilla Island, in Charlotte Harbor. We left Tarpon Springs Monday morning and after talking about anchoring up behind Anclote Island for the night we said never mind and headed for Egmont Key, in Tampa Bay, it was a lovely sail with just one storm, no rain, but the wind blew and the waves got big and we plowed through some rough seas, but our "little ship" made it with no problem. The next day we left Egmont Key around 9am and boy where we in for it, never mind that fair weather sailor, we hit a bad storm and for awhile we could not see 50 ft in front of us, it was so weird, sailing so fast and seeing only rain and waves. After a 12hr sail we dropped the hook behind Gasparilla Island and this morning I called Gasparilla Marina..waiting to hear back from them. The auto pilot still is not working right, so we need to address that issue!
