As we exited Big Pass, the winds were coming from the NW at about 10-12 knots but consistent enough to create a strong quartering sea with 2-3 foot waves. Not a bad ride, but certainly a little more "bumpy" than I had planned (and was forecast). 105 miles and 4 1/2 hours later we reached the Naples Yacht Club a few miles up the Gordon River.
Safely docked for the night, boat music playing in the background, and an adult beverage in hand, the journey has begun! Tomorrow will bring a "first light" departure to get ahead of the winds, seas and forecast afternoon thunderstorms as we make a 110 miles run to Key West.
A good first day.....
