Bound for Fort Pierce

We plan to leave tomorrow morning bound for Fort Pierce on the inside. We'd hoped to go outside from Port Canaveral, but with the wind out of the SE for the next several days, the direction we need to go, I decided not to wait any longer.

It's about 75nm, so it'll take two days on the inside as apposed to an overnighter on the outside, but without a favorable wind, who knows how long it would take. We'll top off again on fuel and water there, and maybe make another shopping run.

With any luck, we'll be able to start up again either over the weekend or early next week. St Lucie is an easy inside or outside half day run, so I might stop there as well. That also gives us the option of continuing south or going across the Okeechobee. At this point, all options are on the table and revolve around the weather.
