That was a great EC warmup! Thanks for organizing Warren!
We had nice weather day one, then a storm that night. Windy day two, windier night two and a chilly 44. Day 3 a sloppy paddle South to Indian key pass, and of course the tide against us.
Great test of gear, and the information from the old salts Sharkchow and Whitecaps was priceless.
There is a ton of unused firewood on Panther key but no one will ever find it we hid it so well...
I didn't know it was possible to have a bonfire in 20knots of wind until this trip. Too bad about the rest of the island downwind of us:)
As Sharkchow was the only one with fishing gear I assume he is the one that sprayed my rudder with fish attractant..
