Dec. 2.... A beautiful sunny day with an anticipated breeze of 15 knots. Jim and I got away around 10:30 and headed out in a light breeze to Terra Ceia Bay where it's imperative you follow the channel markers. We zig zagged out towards Egmont Key and around 1:30 as we approached the key the wind decided it had had enough. We turned around about an hour later and headed back in under power. A few teaser gusts encouraged us to keep the sails up but it wasn't meant to be. Due to all the channel buouys it's extremely difficult to sail the whole way due to the erratic course that must be followed. All in all it was a great day with great company. Thanks so much Jim.
