We made it to Florida!!!

Saturday, we cruised at 6.4 knots only planing to make 30 - 40 miles.  As we passed through an extremely narrow pass we contacted an approaching boat 60 ft at least.  We discussed the approach and agreed to pass on the one whistle ( port to port).  Further conversations lead to recommendations that we needed to stay in downtown Pensacola Fl.  Yes we have crossed the line into Florida!!! Our new friend " Shell Cracker" radioed that he was not using his slip tonight so we were welcome to use his slip! We only made about 28 miles today.  The Marina / yacht club is right in the middle of town.The downtown is a lovely area.  I took the bike to the liquor store as we had run out of rum to make lum and remonades .  We will need to make some miles for the next couple of days to make a passage from Carabella to Tarpon Springs on Wed or Thursday. Weather permitting! Will,post again as we can based on internet availability !  We hope all is well with you and yours!  God bless!
