We traveled these days outside in the Gulf. We anchored each evening on this trek near the small uninhabited islands making up the Everglades. We stayed November 29 at West Pass anchorage.

We returned to Carabelle on Monday November 22. The weather and waves report was shifting and the possibility to cross the gulf from Carabelle to Steinhatachee was improving.
