Football Fanatics

12.5.10

I guess you can take the sailor out of the football, but you can't take the football out of the sailor. True to form, we planned our sailing to coincide with a mooring where we knew there would be somewhere nearby to watch football for the weekend.
We went to the only sportsbar within range for the ACC Championship last night - GO HOKIES!!!! and will be going back tonight to watch the Ravens/Steelers game; hopefully the birds can pull off another win!
We are getting things done around the boat today and then heading out tomorrow for a long 3 days of sailing. The trek from Naples down to the Keys is filled with a whole lot water, not a lot of cities and nowhere to anchor/dock. The shoals/shallow water going around the tip of Florida comes anywhere from 2-5 miles offshore, so we will be anchoring on the edge of the shoal...3 miles offshore! It is going to be a bit dicey and I doubt we will sleep well. But, we should be able to have a good 3 day sail and reach Bahia Honda by Thursday.
If you haven't heard from us by Saturday...alert the media.
