We woke to a cloudy day and had about decided not to risk getting wet on a ride to Sanibel when we decided to check the weather. Turns out we have a good weather window to get out to the Tortugas so we have kicked into high gear getting the boat ready. There is quite a bit of shifting around of supplies and equipment for a crossing. We have to stow the bikes and dingy, get the life-raft and other emergency supplies handy, wash cloths, buy last minute groceries, notify essential people and pray a lot. We hope to be out in the Tortugas by tomorrow evening. Unless things have radically changed from 2 years ago we will have not cell service or internet so it will be about a week before I can post again. Please keep us in your prayers for a safe passage.
Here is the site for the park in case you're interested.

About Me
- David & Pat Tye
- Fort W alton Beach, Florida, United States
- We are lucky enough to live on the Gulf Coast of Northwest Florida in Fort Walton Beach. When in our home waters, we sail from the Fort Walton Yacht Club, a wonderful place full of great friends. Since 2005, we have enjoyed sailing around Florida and The Bahamas. We recently changed from our loved Caliber 33, Sanctuary to our new floating home, Blue Moon a Pearson 424. Our new boat will allow us to wander farther, faster and more comfortably.
