We pulled an all-night sail from Madeira Beach to Cape Coral today and we are still catching up on lost sleep. We left Chuck and Terri around 11:00 A.M., went through the Welch Causeway Bridge and stopped to fill up with diesel for $4.35/gallon and no tax! Then we went through the John's Pass lift bridge with the intention of going into Sarasota at New Pass but when we turned to go in I saw only breakers straight across the channel. I called Tow Boat US and they said NOT to take our boat through there, too shallow as it has shoaled in. They recommended Venice but it was dark by the time we arrived so we turned off the engine and sailed the
Gulf of Mexico all night arriving at our anchorage in Cape Coral around 11:00 on Friday-a 24 hour sail!
