Quit Facebook, to quit Facebook, but one of the sucky chokosolokee muddy points of that is I reckon I'm missing alot of the buildup excitement and anticipation.... thats probably going on all over at WTFB. Seems of late, not the old amount of planning, scheming, dreamin posts on the Forum to read with morning coffee.... Boo hoo... I want my blanky.

MemberI don't do facebook. Maybe I am missing out but the crap my wife shows me from her Facebook I don't think so. Too many projects and boats to be used, you might find a little more free time without it. Burmudaboy you have done enough of this on one of the hardest means out there this should be routine by now anyways. DWM

MemberSpeaking of Chokosolokee muddy points, I am thinking it might be sweet to bring the inflatable SUP and then leave my Class 4 lugger anchored and scoot across the skinny water to CP2? Then back to the mother ship and keep going, no idea if rules would allow or if it is just a dumb idea. If I would slice my inflatable up on the oysters. Fun to plan while snowbound. Not much talk on the FB site. Maybe the snowshoes would work on the mud flats?

MemberDWM: no secret that I like to talk, write, toot lie, lie, fabwicate, & have waymore waypoints and woutes than Sandywottom
...I just really like reading "FIRED-UP" tribers and their ideas, schemes, and prep as we approach where the Blubber hits the Toad. (wrestled with finding a better nautical one, but settled on this one figuring he must of been in the water when he was a tadpole) That excitement is never "routine" for me.
Thatta whata I wean CWNC!

Canoewnc, this would be OK with the rules, but there is a better solution. Wait at Indian Key until the tide is in your favor. If this is a few hours, take a nap. Use the time wisely. Then when the tide is with you, make your final push to Chokoloskee. If you time it just right you will arrive at high tide and easily jump onto shore without worrying about the mud. Do your checkin and maybe visit the Cuban Cafe. Then ride the tide going out.

MemberI was mostly just rambling...but I have been plotting routes and time between points if I am sailing downwind, sailing upwind, or rowing and poling. Part of what makes the challenge so interesting is full speed, 2/3s speed or 1/3 speed, time between points is drastic and the difference between arriving at high or low tide. I am sure I will be ready for a good nap. I have on my list to call the park about anchoring and sleeping on the boat. I know you are only allowed to camp at approved sites in the park, but are you allowed to anchor and or sleep on the boat dried out in a mud flat?

pretty sure that the rules about camping on a boat in the everglades is that you anchor out of sight of the chickees.
Sleeping on Board : If you sleep aboard a vessel, anchor out of sight of chickees and 1/4 mile from other sites.https://www.nps.gov/ever/planyourvisit/wilderness-trip-planner.htm
