I finally got on the water Thursday afternoon. It was a tough week with other commitments. I paddled out to the Gulf and started to sail Southeast when thunderstorms moved in. Change Float Plan: Head Northwest! I covered 50 miles before sleeping. After getting a late start Friday I went six miles further north to avoid morning showers. After getting to Naples I stored the sail and set about to paddle into the wind for 25 miles. Made it back just after dark Friday night, 83 miles total.
