Do you guys have a weather contingency plan? Mel and I had to use ours and Vida worked with us with some wiggle room on both ends of my trip dates. Planning for such kept me from pushing into bad weather for lack of options.

Daisy chain behind the Viking mother ship.

As Denny has said many times here, anything out of the north quadrant is a no go.
I have days on either end.

You are pushing it GFS...

[Snookerd]

Dang it!! We’ve been found out GFS!

Dang and I bought us some nice heavy duty tow ropes to tie up in a SeaCraft daisy chain to the the Viking for the trip over! I figured Ken would have no problem seeing us back there from the air conditioned salon sipping some foo-foo drink!! Well Sandy on to plan "B"

Ken-Two thoughts:
1.)15 to 20+mph winds the whole week- Hold in Jupiter/travel the "ditch" north toward Sebastian
2.)15 to 20+mph winds for a day or two around departure time or return time - leave early/late or return early/late


Not crossing with any Northern wind direction. Hoping for 5-10mph West wind on the way over and 5-10mph East wind on the way back!!

4 SeaCrafts committed to going.....We have room for a few more.
