Anclote Key, February 6, 2011


This completes the long stretches of open ocean crossings on the Gulf of Mexico. It is said to be the most difficult part of the Great Loop and, given our limited experience, we didn't know what to expect. We have seen and learned a lot and look forward to more as we continue on the Loop.

Left the anchorage early under cloudy sky's. Winding our way out of the channel was challenging because of all the crab pots. We've seen them all along, but sometimes they are thicker than others. They can be difficult to see as they are all different colors and you don't want to tangle one around the engine prop.
