Rick,
That is what I was hoping to hear from someone who has made the sail before. I just hope that the wind is right. Every year I go for spring break and the wind is different every time. Always from the east or southeast, but it has varied from 5 to 25 knots. We are camping at Knight's Key in Marathon for a couple nights before the trip so we will put in there. Plan on taking out at smathers.

Thanks to everyone for the advice, we will have proper safety equip and also have a chase boat going along with us.
