Crossing the Big Bend of Florida from Carrabelle to Steinhatchee has been on my list of adventures to complete for a while. Finally made it happen aboard my 2003 C-Dory 22 Cruiser. We made the crossing and endured some rough seas and a bit of rain. Always an Adventure!

When doing solo open water crossings, perhaps you should "snap into" a connecting life-line for when you venture outside the cockpit...a 30 foot tether connecting you to the boat in the event that you tumble overboard. Use a simple light cord with a carabiner on the end that you can snap onto a loop on your life jacket. In the wind and a strong current, you could find yourself separated from the boat pretty quick.

I saw your mouth tape- have you read the book “Breath” by James Nestor ? I am just starting it, but your comment made me think you may have. Have you thought about putting an RV air condition on the roof and using a small generator ? I am seriously considering a C-Dory 22 for trips and back bayous, although it does look like it pounds in the chop of the gulf.

@TripSmith 2 месяца назад

I havent... But I own and have read his book DEEP which is great. I have thought about the RV air conditioner, but don't want the generator and AC unit on my roof. I like it simple. With my solar panels, I generate more juice that I use so I can run fans all I want stay comfortable. It does pound, but still does pretty good for what it is. I have a video coming out this evening that shows her in some rough chop and she handles it well.
