Cruising 2023 – Crossing the Gulf

We left Galveston for Pensacola. The winds were low but we just couldn’t wait any longer. This was a good test of the new and improved Yanmar. It ran steady for 5 days straight. We had almost no wind. To complicate things even more we had about 48 hours of heavy fog. Without that radar I don’t know what we would have done. It was our longest time on the boat at sea. With a crew of 3 it was an easy 4 hours on, 8 hours off watch schedule. We got into Pensacola around midnight
