| Record of our days sail |
It was a great day for sailing so it was suggested that we should do an "around the block" that included all the little sounds, basins and bays surrounding us. We left Hammer Point around 11:00 AM and proceeded to sail some 24 or 25 NM today. I have included my route on the chart provided, Roland, on the other chose a alternate route , with the same result. A steady East wind provided the power for our little craft and remained favorable to the end. You can see by the GPS that our average speed was around 4.3 Kts, that includes some very slow passages through several long cuts that connect the various bays and basins. 7.2 Kts was while on a beam reach between Butternut Key and Whaleback Key. Exciting stuff!
