Grand Lagoon, Tricky Exit, Southbound | Ep. 342
I find my way ashore to St. Andrews State Park, where I can land the dinghy, dump trash, take on water, and ride my bicycle to the Publix. So that's a win, even though it cost me $4 to get back into the park. Anyway, there's a window to head back south to Fort Meyers, and I'm going to take it as the weather here in January is a bit cold for my comfort.

The Ghost Coast | Ep. 340
I slowly approach the Gulf Coast. Light winds prevail. Even with the white sandy beaches and tall buildings in sight, I see almost no signs of life other than a few small powerboats. Nothing on AIS. Can't see any sailboat masts. Did some apocalypse just occur? Once inside St. Andrews Bay ...
Passage to Panama City | Ep. 339
I depart the buzzing and booming city of Key West, northbound for Panama City, Florida. After a mild frontal passage, which puts me through the usual sail drills, conditions quickly moderate.
